[191] ἐκ δὴ τούτων συνάγεται, ὅτι οὔτε χρωμάτων ἀντιλαμβανόμεθα, ἀλλὰ τοῦ συνισταμένου κράματος ἔκ τε τῶν ὑποκειμένων καὶ φωτός, οὔτε ὀσμῶν, ἀλλὰ μίγματος, ὅπερ συνέστη διά τε τοῦ ῥυέντος ἀπὸ τῶν σωμάτων καὶ τοῦ πανδεχοῦς ἀέρος,
οὔτε χυλῶν, ἀλλὰ τοῦ γενομένου διά τε τοῦ προσιόντος γευστοῦ καὶ τῆς κατὰ τὸ στόμα ὑγρᾶς οὐσίας.

[191] From all this we collect the inference that we have neither any proper comprehension of colours, not only of the combination which consists of the objects submitted to our view and of light; nor of smells, but only of the mixture which consists of that which flows from substances and the all-receiving air; nor of tastes, but only of the union which arises from the tasteable object presented to us, and the moist substance in our mouths.
