[259] Συμπεριτρέπεται μὲν οὖν τούτῳ ὅ τε διδάσκων καὶ ὁ μανθάνων 5 οὐδὲν δὲ ἧττον καὶ κατὰ ἰδίαν ἀποροῦνται. ¹²³⁴ 182 ἤτ’ οἱ γὰρ ὁ τεχνίτης τὸν τεχνίτην διδάσκει ἢ ὁ ἄτεχνος τὸν ἄτεχνον ἢ ὁ ἄτεχνος τὸν τεχνίτην ἢ ὁ τεχνίτης τὸν
ἄτεχνον. ὁ μὲν οὖν τεχνίτης τὸν τεχνίτην οὐ διδάσκει· οὐθέτερος γὰρ αὐτῶν, καθό ἐστι τεχνίτης, δεῖται μαθήσεως. ἀλλ’ οὐδὲ ὁ ἄτεχνος τὸν ἄτεχνον, ὥσπερ οὐδὲ τυφλὸν ὁδηγεῖν δύναται τυφλός. οὐδὲ ὁ ἄτεχνος τὸν τεχνίτην·

[259] Now with the refutation of this is involved that of both the teacher and the learner; though they are just as much open to doubt on their own account. For either the expert artist teaches the expert, or the non-expert the non-expert, or the non-expert the expert, or the expert the non-expert. Now the expert does not teach the expert; for neither of them, qua expert, needs teaching. Nor does the non-expert teach the non-expert, any more than the blind can lead the blind.¹ Nor the non-expert the expert, for it would be ridiculous.
