ἐπὶ μηδενὶ ἐπαρθῇς ἀλλοτρίῳ προτερήματι.
εἰ ὁ ἵππος ἐπαιρόμενος ἔλεγεν ὅτι ‘καλός εἰμι,’ οἰστὸν
ἂν ἦν: σὺ δέ, ὅταν λέγῃς ἐπαιρόμενος ὅτι ‘ἵππον καλὸν ἔχω,’ ἴσθι, ὅτι ἐπὶ ἵππου ἀγαθῷ ἐπαίρῃ. τί οὖν
ἐστι σόν; χρῆσις φαντασιῶν. ὥσθ᾽, ὅταν ἐν χρήσει φαντασιῶν κατὰ φύσιν σχῇς, τηνικαῦτα ἐπάρθητι: τότε
γὰρ ἐπὶ σῷ τινι ἀγαθῷ ἐπαρθήσῃ.
