[219] πρεσβύτερα μὲν οὖν καὶ ἡγεμονικὰ φρόνησις καὶ σωφροσύνη καὶ δικαιοσύνη καὶ ἀνδρεία καὶ πᾶν ὅ τι περὶ ἀρετὴν p. 32 Μ. καὶ αἱ κατ’ ἀρετὴν πράξεις· νεώτερα δὲ πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα καὶ ἀρχὴ καὶ εὐγένεια,
οὐχ ἡ ἀληθής, ἀλλ’ ἣν οἱ πολλοὶ νομίζουσι, καὶ ὅσα ἄλλα τὴν τρίτην μετὰ τὰ ψυχικὰ καὶ σωματικὰ τάξιν εἴληχεν, ἥτις εὐθύς ἐστι καὶ τελευταία.

[219] Now the principal and more dominant things are wisdom, and temperance, and justice, and courage, and every description of virtue, and the actions in accordance with virtue; the younger things are wealth, and authority, and glory, and nobility, not real nobility, but that which the multitude think so, and all those other things which belong to the third class, next after the things of the soul, and the things of the body; the class which is in fact the last.
