Hi , I m an Italian philosophy student, I m searching for the original Greek version of fragment 59A102 by Anaxagoras, in English it sounds like this " Man is the most intelligent of animals because he has hands" . Any of you could help me ? thanks in advance.

Ἀναξαγόρας μὲν οὖν φησι διὰ τὸ χεῖρας ἔχειν φρονιμώτατον εἶναι τῶν ζῴων ἄνθρωπον· εὔλογον δὲ διὰ τὸ φρονιμώτατον εἶναι χεῖρας λαμβάνειν. αἱ μὲν γὰρ χεῖρες ὄργανόν εἰσιν͵ ἡ δὲ φύσις ἀεὶ διανέμει καθάπερ ἄνθρωπος φρόνιμος ἕκαστον τῷ δυναμένῳ χρῆσθαι.

According to Aristotle (de part. animal. Δ10 687a), DK II A102.
