Enchiridion · §44
οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι οὐκ ἀκόλουθοί εἰσιν· "ἐγὼ πλούσιός εἰμι, σοῦ οὖν κρείσσων"· "ἐγὼ λογικός εἰμι, σοῦ οὖν κρείσσων"· ἐκεῖνοι δ᾽ ἀκόλουθοί εἰσιν· "ἐγὼ πλούσιός εἰμι, ἡ οὐσία ἄρα μου κρείσσων"· "ἐγὼ λογικός εἰμι, ἡ λέξις ἄρα μου κρείσσων". σὺ δ᾽ οὔτε οὐσία εἶ οὔτε λέξις.
houtoi hoi logoi ouk akolouthoi eisin; 'egō plousios eimi, sou oun kreissōn'; 'egō logikos eimi, sou oun kreissōn'; ekeinoi d' akolouthoi eisin; 'egō plousios eimi, hē ousia ara mou kreissōn'; 'egō logikos eimi, hē lexis ara mou kreissōn'. su d' oute ousia ei oute lexis.
These are inconsistent arguments: 'I am richer than you, therefore I am better than you' — or 'I am more eloquent than you, therefore I am better than you.' But these are consistent: 'I am richer than you, therefore my property is greater than yours' — 'I am more eloquent than you, therefore my speech is more polished than yours.' You are neither your property nor your speech.
