[98] though patent in their nature, are occasionally rendered non- evident to us owing to certain external circumstances,¹ as the city of Athens is now to me; naturally non- evident are those which are not of such a nature² as to fall within our clear perception, like the intelligible pores; for these never appear of themselves but may be thought to be apprehended, if at all, owing to other things, such as perspirations or something of the sort.

Outlines of Pyrrhonism

1. i.e. distance in space. From this we infer that Sextus was not then residing at Athens.

2. Cf. §§ 146, 318. For the ‟pores” (or excretory ‟ducts,” or ‟passages”) as ‟intelligible” (νοητοί), or objects of thought as opposed to sense, cf. § 140, Adv. Log. ii. 306.
