Translation
They say [it] with the tau, not a)ru/esqai [sc. but a)ru/tesqai ]. Aristophanes in Clouds [writes]: "whether to draw water from the course of the Nile's streams in golden bowls...".1 And Plato in Laws [writes]: "he who draws from these [sources of pleasure and pain] the right amount from the right one at the right time [will be happy]".2
