τὰ δὲ ἤθη ἐν ταῖς ἀφελείαις τόνον λαμβάνει καὶ σεμνότητα, ὅταν τις ἐμφανίζων τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γνώμην ἐπὶ μόνης τῆς ἐννοίας τὸ ἦθος καταλείπῃ, οἷον εἰ ἔλεγες σὺ ἐνσημαινόμενος, ἔδοσαν δὲ οἱ θεοὶ καὶ ἐτίμησαν Χείρωνα, ὥσπερ χρή, δίκαιόν τε τὰ τοῦ καλοῦ πεποιημένον ἀγασθέντες αὐτοῦ, ὅτι δίκαιός τε ἦν καὶ τὴν ἄλλην ἀρετὴν ἐπετήδευεν: ἐν γὰρ τούτοις ἐμφανίζεις τὴν σεαυτοῦ γνώμην πῶς ἔχεις περὶ τοὺς τοιούτους ἄνδρας: τῷ δὲ Ξενοφῶντι ἐξήρκεσε μόνον ἐπὶ τῆς ἐννοίας ἀποσιωπῆσαι, “Χείρωνα δὲ διὰ δικαιότητα” καὶ τὰ ἑξῆς.
