[169] Φᾶσίν οὖν οἱ Στωικοὶ (Stoic. fr. III 75 A) ἀγαθὸν εἶναι ὠφέλειαν ἢ οὐχ ἕτερον ὠφελείας, ὠφέλειαν
μὲν λέγοντες τὴν ἀρετὴν καὶ τὴν σπουδαίαν πρᾶξιν, ¹ ξιν, οὐχ ἕτερον δὲ ὠφελείας τὸν σπουδαῖον καὶ τὸν φίλον. ἡ μὲν γὰρ ἀρετή πως ἔχον ἡγεμονικὸν καθεστηκυῖα καὶ ἡ σπουδαία πρᾶξις ἐνέργειά τις οὖσα κατ’ ἀρετὴν ἄντικρύς ἐστιν ὠφέλεια, ὁ δὲ
σπουδαῖος ἄνθρωπος καὶ ὁ φίλος οὐχ ἕτερος ὠφελείας.

[169] The Stoics, then, assert that good is ‟utility or not other than utility,” meaning by ‟utility” virtue and right action, and by ‟not other than utility” the good man and the friend. For ‟virtue,” as consisting in a certain state of the ruling principle,¹ and ‟right action,” being an activity in accordance with virtue, are exactly ‟utility;” while the good man and the friend are ‟not other than utility.”
