[187] παραγενόμενοι δὲ εἰς τοὺς θυρῶνας ἀρετῆς, τὰ προπαιδεύματα, καὶ θεασάμενοι πηγὰς καὶ παρ’ αὐταῖς ἔρνη φοινίκων στρατοπεδεύειν οὐ παρὰ τοῖς φυτοῖς ἀλλὰ παρὰ τοῖς ὕδασι λέγονται. διὰ τί; ὅτι φοίνικι μὲν καὶ ταινίαις οἱ παντελοῦς ἀρετῆς ἐπιφερόμενοι τὰ ἆθλα κοσμοῦνται, οἱ δὲ ἔτι ἐγχορεύοντες τοῖς προπαιδεύμασιν
¹ ἅτε μαθήσεως διψῶντες παρὰ ταῖς δυναμέναις ἄρδειν καὶ ποτίζειν τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν ἐπιστήμαις ἱδρύονται.

[187] And when they have come to the gates of virtue, the preliminary liberal sciences, and have seen the fountains, and the stems of the palm-trees growing by them, they are said to pitch their tents, not by the palm-trees, but by the waters. Why is this? Because those who carry off the prizes of perfect virtue are adorned with palm-leaves and with fillets; but those who are still exercising themselves in the preliminary branches of instruction, as people thirsting for learning, settle ¹² themselves by the side of those sciences which are able to bedew and irrigate their souls.
