[7] ὡς δʼ αὕτως ὁ ἄδικος. ὅτι μὲν οὖν ἀπλῶς 1159b καὶ ἡ τυραννὶς ἀγαθὸν καὶ ἡ ἀρχὴ καὶ ἡ ἐξουσία, οἶδεν· ἀλλʼ ¹ εἰ αὐτῷ ἀγαθὸν ἢ μή, ἢ πότε, ἢ πῶς διακειμένῳ, οὐκέτι οἷδεν. τοῦτο δʼ ἐστὶν μάλιστα τῆς φρονήσεως, ὥστε τῷ ἀκίκῳ οὐ
παρακολουθεῖ ἡ φρόνησις. αἱρεῖται γὰρ τἀγαθά, ὑπὲρ ὧν ἀδικεῖ τὰ ἀπλῶς ἀγαθά, οὐ τὰ αὐτῷ ἀγαθά. ὁ γὰρ πλοῦτος καὶ ἡ ἀρχὴ ἁπλῶς μὲν ἀγαθόν, αὐτῷ μέντοι ἴσως οὐκ ἀγαθόν· εὐπορήσας γὰρ καὶ ἄρξας πολλὰ κακὰ αὐτὸς ἑαυτῷ ποιήσει καὶ τοῖς φίλοις· οὐ γὰρ δυνήσεται ἀρχῇ ὀρθῶς χρήσασθαι.
