Now, too, what is good in the arts as arts, have their beginning from God. For as the doing of anything artistically is embraced in the rules of art, so also acting sagaciously is classed under the head of sagacity (φρόνησις).

And Wisdom (Σοφία) being power, is nothing but the knowledge of good things, divine and human.
