[18] τὸ μὲν δὴ πλέον, ὥσπερ εἴρηται, πρὸς τοὺς ἡγεμονικοὺς βίους καὶ τὰς χρείας ἐστίν. ἔστι δὲ καὶ τῆς ἠθικῆς φιλοσοφίας καὶ πολιτικῆς τὸ πλέον περὶ τοὺς ἡγεμονικοὺς βίους. σημεῖον δέ: τὰς γὰρ τῶν πολιτειῶν διαφορὰς ἀπὸ τῶν ἡγεμονιῶν διακρίνομεν, ἄλλην μὲν ἡγεμονίαν τιθέντες τὴν μοναρχίαν, ἣν καὶ βασιλείαν καλοῦμεν, ἄλλην δὲ τὴν ἀριστοκρατίαν, τρίτην δὲ τὴν δημοκρατίαν. τοσαύτας δὲ καὶ τὰς πολιτείας νομίζομεν, ὁμωνύμως καλοῦντες ὡς ἂν ἀπ᾽ ἐκείνων τὴν ἀρχὴν ἐχούσας τῆς εἰδοποιίας: ἄλλος γὰρ νόμος τὸ τοῦ βασιλέως πρόσταγμα, ἄλλος δὲ τὸ τῶν ἀρίστων καὶ τὸ τοῦ δήμου. τύπος δὲ καὶ σχῆμα πολιτείας ὁ νόμος. διὰ τοῦτο δὲ καὶ τὸ δίκαιον εἶπόν τινες τὸ τοῦ κρείττονος συμφέρον. εἴπερ οὖν ἡ πολιτικὴ φιλοσοφία περὶ τοὺς ἡγεμόνας τὸ πλέον ἐστίν, ἔστι δὲ καὶ ἡ γεωγραφία περὶ τὰς ἡγεμονικὰς χρείας, ἔχοι ἄν τι πλεονέκτημα καὶ αὕτη παρὰ τοῦτο.
