ἢ αὐτὴ αὑτῇ τὸ συμφέρον σκέψεται ; ἢ οὔτε αὑτῆς οὔτε ἄλλης προσδεῖται ἐπὶ τὴν αὑτῆς πονηρίαν τὸ συμφέρον σκοπεῖν : οὔτε γὰρ πονηρία οὔτε ἁμαρτία οὐδεμία οὐδεμιᾷ τέχνῃ πάρεστιν , οὐδὲ προσήκει τέχνῃ ἄλλῳ τὸ συμφέρον ζητεῖν ἢ ἐκείνῳ οὗ τέχνη ἐστίν , αὐτὴ δὲ ἀβλαβὴς καὶ ἀκέραιός ἐστιν ὀρθὴ οὖσα , ἕωσπερ ἂν ᾖ ἑκάστη ἀκριβὴς ὅλη ἥπερ ἐστίν ; καὶ σκόπει ἐκείνῳ τῷ ἀκριβεῖ λόγῳ : οὕτως ἢ ἄλλως ἔχει ;
οὕτως , ἔφη , φαίνεται .

Or
will
this
(
art
)
consider
its
own
advantage
?
It
has
no
need
either
of
itself
or
any
other
(
art
)
to
contemplate
its
advantage
against
deficiency
:
For
there
is
no
defect
nor
fault
present
in
any
art
,
nor
does
it
befit
an
art
to
seek
the
advantage
for
anything
other
than
that
which
is
for
the
art
.
But
(
the
art
)
itself
is
free
from
harm
if
it
is
pure
in
its
strict
sense
,
even
until
each
(
art
)
is
taken
precisely
,
wholly
as
that
very
(
art
)
which
it
is
.
And
consider
that
exact
manner
of
speaking
:
is
it
this
way
or
otherwise
?
It
appears
this
way
,
he
said
.
