Translation: If the proposition is that the earnest man manages the state, they must [do this] by determining what is necessary for themselves: which means what is good and what is beneficial and what is needful; "needful" [is] whenever we say that everything that has come into being must also perish; "beneficial", whenever we say that we should employ exercise or this sort of diet; "good", whenever we say that we should do just things or obey the laws or our parents.[1]
