Power, Powers, Hunting, and Eluding

Power comes to light as this power or that power. Power is too indefinite to be a form. Hunting is too indefinite to be an techne. Rosen's commentary on the Sophist is an externally derived power of actuating the inward power to understand these things. Is eluding likewise too indefinite to be a techne? I think so. If the statesman weaves together courage and moderation, does he seek thereby the power to cloak himself and elude the citizens who would hunt him out of fear and envy? I think so.

With all thy hunting, hunt powers of epithymetic satisfaction.
