Quid Epictetus philosophus dicere solitus sit hominibus nequam et inpuris, disciplinas philosophiae studiose tractantibus; et quae duo verba observanda praeceperit omnium rerum longe saluberrima. Favorinum ego audivi dicere Epictetum philosophum dixisse plerosque istos, qui philosophari viderentur, philosophos esse huiuscemodi ἄνευ τοῦ πράττειν, μέχρι τοῦ λέγειν; id significat factis procul, verbis tenus. Iam illud est vehementius quod Arrianus solitum eum dictitare, in libris quos de dissertationibus eius composuit, scriptum reliquit.
