διορισάμενοι οὖν τὸ ἀδικεῖν λέγωμεν ἑξῆς.
ἔστω δὴ τὸ ἀδικεῖν τὸ βλάπτειν ἑκόντα παρὰ τὸν νόμον. νόμος δ᾽ ἐστὶν ὁ μὲν ἴδιος ὁ δὲ κοινός: λέγω δὲ ἴδιον μὲν καθ᾽ ὃν γεγραμμένον πολιτεύονται, κοινὸν δὲ ὅσα ἄγραφα παρὰ πᾶσιν ὁμολογεῖσθαι δοκεῖ. ἑκόντες δὲ
ποιοῦσιν ὅσα εἰδότες καὶ μὴ ἀναγκαζόμενοι. ὅσα μὲν οὖν εἰδότες, οὐ πάντα προαιρούμενοι, ὅσα δὲ προαιρούμενοι, εἰδότες ἅπαντα: οὐδεὶς γὰρ ὃ προαιρεῖται ἀγνοεῖ.
