[25] Πὼς αὖ λέγεις;

Ὧδε. ἐπειδὴ κατεῖδεν ἡμῶν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐμψύχους
οὔσας τὰς πράξεις ἁπάσας καὶ πολλὴν μὲν ἀρετὴν ἐν αὐταῖς οὖσαν, πολλὴν δὲ κακίαν, ἀνώλεθρον δὲ ὂν γενόμενον, ἀλλ’ οὐκ αἰώνιον, ψυχὴν καὶ σῶμα, d καθάπερ οἱ κατὰ νόμον ὄντες θεοί· γένεσις γὰρ οὐκ ἄν ποτε ἦν ζῴων ἀπολομένου τούτοιν θατέρου·) καὶ
τὸ μὲν ὠφελεῖν ἀεὶ πεφυκὸς ὂν ἀγαθὸν ψυχῆς διενοήθη, τὸ δὲ κακὸν βλάπτειν · ταῦτα πάντα ξυνιδὼν ἐμηχανήσατο ποῦ κείμενον ἕκαστον τῶν μερῶν νικῶσαν ἀρετὴν, ἡττωμένην δὲ κακίαν ἐν τῷ παντὶ παρέχοι μάλιστ’ ἂν καὶ ῥᾴστα καὶ ἄριστα.
