Plotinus, Enneads 1.4 (DIORISIS sentence 222)

grc plotinus enneads

Ἆρά γε τὸ λογικὸν προσλαμβάνεται, ὅτι εὐμήχανον μᾶλλον ὁ λόγος καὶ ῥαιδίως ἀνιχνεύειν καὶ περιποιεῖν τὰ πρῶτα κατὰ φύσιν δύναται, ἢ κἂν μὴ δυνατὸς ἦι ἀνιχνεύειν μηδὲ τυγχάνειν Ἀλλʼ εἰ μὲν διὰ τὸ ἀνευρίσκειν μᾶλλον δύνασθαι, ἔσται καὶ τοῖς μὴ λόγον ἔχουσιν, εἰ ἄνευ λόγου φύσει τυγχάνοιεν τῶν πρώτων κατὰ φύσιν, τὸ εὐδαιμονεῖν καὶ ὑπουργὸς ἂν ὁ λόγος καὶ οὐ διʼ αὑτὸν αἱρετὸς γίγνοιτο οὐδʼ αὖ ἡ τελείωσις αὐτοῦ, ἥν φαμεν ἀρετὴν εἶναι.
