[142] μουσικὴν μὲν οὖν καὶ γραμματικὴν καὶ τὰς συγγενεῖς καλοῦμεν τέχνας
— καὶ γὰρ οἱ ἀποτελούμενοι δι’ αὐτῶν τεχνῖται λέγονται μουσικοί τε καὶ γραμματικοί —, φιλοσοφίαν δὲ καὶ τὰς ἄλλας ἀρετὰς ἐπιστήμας καὶ τοὺς ἔχοντας αὐτὰς ἐπιστήμονας· p. 540 M. φρόνιμοι γάρ εἰσι καὶ σώφρονες καὶ φιλόσοφοι, ὧν οὐδὲ εἷς ἐν τοῖς τῆς διαπεπονημένης ἐπιστήμης σφάλλεται δόγμασι, καθάπερ οἱ προειρημένοι ἐν τοῖς τῶν μέσων τεχνῶν θεωρήμασιν.

[142] Therefore we call music and grammar, and other pursuits, arts; for those also who are made perfect in them, as musicians, or grammarians, are called artists. But we call philosophy and the other virtues, sciences, and those who are possessed of the knowledge of them we call scientific; for they are prudent, and temperate, and philosophical, not one of whom is ever deceived in the doctrines of a philosophy which he himself has cultivated, any more than the artists, whom I have mentioned before, err in their speculations with respect to their indifferent arts.
