[353ξ]
ἀπεργάσαιντο μὴ ἔχοντα τὴν αὑτῶν οἰκείαν ἀρετήν, ἀλλ᾽ ἀντὶ τῆς ἀρετῆς κακίαν;καὶ πῶς ἄν; ἔφη: τυφλότητα γὰρ ἴσως λέγεις ἀντὶ τῆς ὄψεως.ἥτις, ἦν δ᾽ ἐγώ, αὐτῶν ἡ ἀρετή: οὐ γάρ πω τοῦτο ἐρωτῶ, ἀλλ᾽ εἰ τῇ οἰκείᾳ μὲν ἀρετῇ τὸ αὑτῶν ἔργον εὖ ἐργάσεται τὰ ἐργαζόμενα, κακίᾳ δὲ κακῶς.ἀληθές, ἔφη, τοῦτό γε λέγεις.οὐκοῦν καὶ ὦτα στερόμενα τῆς αὑτῶν ἀρετῆς κακῶς τὸ αὑτῶν ἔργον ἀπεργάσεται;πάνυ γε.
