[11] Οὐκ ἄρα πάντων γε
643
αἴτιοντὸ ἀγαθὸν, ἀλλὰ τῶν μὲν εὖ ἐχόντων αἴτιον, τῶν δὲ κακῶν ἀναίτιον. Παντελῶς γε, ἔφη. Οὐδ’ ἄρα, ἦν δ’ ἐγὼ, ὁ θεὸς, ἐπειδὴ ἀγαθὸς, πάντων ἂν εἴη αἴτιος,
ὡς οἶ πολλοὶ λέγουσιν, ἀλλ’ ὀλίγων τοῖς ἀνθρώοις αἴτιος, πολλῶν δὲ ἀναίτιος · πολὺ γὰρ ἐλάττω τὰ ἀγαθὰ τῶν κακῶν ἡμῖν. καὶ τῶν μὲν ἀγαθῶν οὐδὲν ἄλλο αἰτιατέον, τῶν δὲ κακῶν ἄλλα ἄττα δεῖ ζητεῖν τὰ αἴτια, ἀλλ’ οὐ τὸν θεόν.
