ἀρετή: the subst. to denote the form in which the Good manifests itself in persons and things. According to its real nature the Good re mains one and the same, but its manifestation (the ἀρετή) assumes various names according to circumstances.
τᾠ εἰκῇ: on the use of the art. with adverbs, see Kr. 50, 5, 10. The dat. is in the same construction as those following.
12 f. τάξει καὶ ὀρθότητι καὶ τέχνῃ: the two latter words simply complete the first. We might translate them as adjs. The addition of κάλλιστα seems to admit the possibility of a kind of ἀρετή being brought about by other means than τάξει κτἑ.
