Translation
"Timaios1 says against Aristotle that he was arrogant, reckless, and headstrong . . . (but not)2 a pedantic and detestable sophist who had just locked up his precious surgeon's shop, and who besides [this] had forced his way into every court and onto every stage and was a glutton and epicure catering for his mouth in everything. I think that surely such language could scarcely be tolerated even from the lips of some unscrupulous knave making random accusations in a law court."3
Aristotle was a clerk by nature, steeping his pen in intellect; from whom perhaps it was not necessary to seek anything useful, even if it is more technical and exceptionally worked out.4
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] Aristotelian speech.
