[5] 2 ἀλλ’ οὔτε πλοῦτος, ᾧ μὴ δυνατόν ἐστι χρῆσθαι, τοὺς κεκτημένους ὠφελεῖ οὔτε ἡ φρονήσεως εὐτοκία, ἐὰν μὴ καὶ ἡμῖν αὐτοῖς τὰ ὠφέλιμα τίκτῃ. τοὺς μὲν γὰρ εἰσάπαν ἀξίους ἔκρινε τῆς συμβιώσεως αὐτῆς, οἱ δ’ οὔπω τὴν ἡλικίαν ἔδοξαν ἔχειν,

But neither is wealth, which it is not possible to employ, of any advantage to its possessors, nor is the fertility of wisdom of any service to us, unless it also brings forth such things as are serviceable to us. For some persons it judges to be in every respect worthy of living in its company; but others appear to have not yet arrived at such an age, as to be able to support so highly praised and well regulated a charge; whom, however, it permits to enter upon the preliminaries of marriage, holding out to them a hope that they may hereafter consummate the wedlock.
