[250] Καὶ μὴν εἰ γίνεται ἐν ἀνθρώποις ἡ περὶ τὸν βίον τέχνη, ἤτοι φύσει ἐγγίνεται αὐτοῖς ἢ διὰ μαθήσεως καὶ
διδασκαλίας. ἀλλ’ εἰ μὲν φύσει, ἤτοι καθό εἰσιν ἄνθρωποι ἐγγίνοιτο ἂν αὐτοῖς ἡ περὶ τὸν βίον τέχνη, ἢ καθὸ οὔκ εἰσιν ἄνθρωποι. καθὸ μὲν οὖν οὔκ εἰσιν ἄνθρωποι, οὐδαμῶς· οὐδὲ γὰρ οὔκ εἰσιν ἄνθρωποι. εἰ δὲ καθό εἰσιν ἄνθρωποί, πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις ὑπῆρξεν ἂν ἡ φρόνησις,

[250] Moreover, if the art of living comes into existence in men, it so comes either by nature or through learning and teaching. But if it is by nature, then the art of living will arise in them either in so far as they are men, or in so far as they are not men. Certainly not in so far as they are not men; for it is not a fact that they are not men. But if it is in so far as they are men, then prudence¹ would have belonged to all men, so that all would have been prudent and virtuous and wise. But they describe most men as bad.
