- 384 BCE – 322 BCE, Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics 1142a.17:
- ἐπεὶ καὶ τοῦτ’ ἄν τις σκέψαιτο, διὰ τί δὴ μαθηματικὸς μὲν παῖς γένοιτ’ ἄν, σοφὸς δ’ ἢ φυσικὸς οὔ.
- epeì kaì toût’ án tis sképsaito, dià tí dḕ mathēmatikòs mèn paîs génoit’ án, sophòs d’ ḕ phusikòs oú.
- One might indeed further inquire why it is that, though a boy can be a mathematician, he cannot be a metaphysician or a natural philosopher.
- ἐπεὶ καὶ τοῦτ’ ἄν τις σκέψαιτο, διὰ τί δὴ μαθηματικὸς μὲν παῖς γένοιτ’ ἄν, σοφὸς δ’ ἢ φυσικὸς οὔ.
