[6] τὸ γὰρ τὴν πᾶσαν σπουδὴν εἰσφέρεσθαι, ὅπως ὡς κάλλιστα αὐτῷ ¹ τὸ σῶμα ἕξοι, οὐ διαγινώσκοντός ² ἐστιν ἑαυτόν, οὐδὲ συνιέντος τοῦ σοφοῦ παραγγέλματος, ὅτι οὐ τὸ ὁρώμενόν ἐστιν ὁ ἄνθρωπος: ἀλλά τινος δεῖται περιττοτέρας σοφίας, δἰ ἧς ἕκαστος ἡμῶν, ὅστις ποτέ ἐστιν, ἑαυτὸν ἐπιγνώσεται. τοῦτο δὲ μὴ καθηραμένοις τὸν νοῦν ἀδυνατώτερον ἢ λημῶντι πρὸς τὸν ἥλιον ἀναβλέψαι.
