[130] ἡ δ’ εἰς ἓν εἶδος λευκὸν μεταβαλοῦσα τὴν ἀκούσιον διασυνίστησι τροπήν, ἐπειδὰν τὸ λογίζεσθαι ὁ νοῦς ἐκτμηθεὶς ὅλον δι’ ὅλων, μηδενὸς τῶν εἰς τὸ συνιέναι σπέρματος ὑπολειφθέντος, ὥσπερ οἱ ἐν ἀχλύι καὶ σκότῳ
βαθεῖ μηδὲν ὁρᾷ τῶν πρακτέων, ἀλλ’ οἷα τυφλὸς ἀπροοράτως πᾶσιν ἐμπίπτων συνεχεῖς ὀλίσθους καὶ πτώματα ἐπάλληλα καὶ ἀκούσια
