Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἄλλως· οἰόμενος τοῦτο οὐ δύνατον, εἴτε ἄλλως, εἴτε καὶ δυνατὸν φανείη, συμφέρον αὐτῷ γενέσθαι. ἀντὶ τοῦ κατὰ ἄλλον τρόπον, ἢ μάτην, ἢ μάλιστα. καὶ αὖθις· ὑπὲρ δὴ τούτων τί φατὲ οἱ τὴν πρόνοιαν ἀλᾶσθαι ἄλλως, καὶ μῦθον εἶναι λέγοντες; καὶ αὖθις· τὰ δὲ ἄλλα τοῖς φιλοσόφοις ἐπήρκουν καὶ τοῖς δεομένοις ἄλλως δι' ἐπιείκειαν καὶ ἐλευθέραν προαίρεσιν.
