Heinrich Schenkl, Epicteti dissertationes ab Arriano digestae (1916)
ἐκ τῶν Ἐπικτήτου ἀπομνημονευμάτων. εἰδέναι χρή, ὅτι οὐ ῥᾴδιον δόγμα παραγενέσθαι ἀνθρώπῳ, εἰ μὴ καθʼ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν τὰ αὐτὰ καὶ λέγοι τις καὶ ἀκούοι καὶ ἅμα χρῷτο πρὸς τὸν βίον.

W. A. Oldfather · W. A. Oldfather, Epictetus: The Discourses as Reported by Arrian, the Manual, and Fragments, volume II (1928)
From the Memorabilia of Epictetus One ought to know that it is not easy for a man to acquire a fixed judgement, unless he should day by day state and hear the same principles, and at the same time apply them to his life.

Des Mémorables d'Épictète
Il faut savoir qu'il n'est pas facile à un homme d'acquérir un jugement ferme, à moins qu'il n'énonce et n'entende chaque jour les mêmes principes, tout en les appliquant à sa vie.
