[21] ὅτι δὲ τοῖς φαινομένοις προσέχομεν, δῆλον ἀπὸ τῶν λεγομένων ἡμῖν περὶ τοῦ κριτηρίου τῆς σκεπτικῆς ἀγωγῆς. κριτήριον δὲ λέγεται διχῶς, τό τε εἰς πίστιν ὑπάρξεως ἢ ἀνυπαρξέας λαμβανόμενον, περὶ οὗ ἐν τῷ ἀντιρρητικῷ λέξομεν
λόγῳ (= ΙΙ 14 sqq.), τό τε τοῦ πράσσειν, ᾧ προσέχοντες κατὰ τὸν βίον τὰ μὲν πράσσομεν τὰ δ’ οὔ, περὶ οὖ νῦν λέγομεν.

[21] That we adhere to appearances is plain from what we say about the Criterion of the Sceptic School. The word ‟Criterion” is used in two senses: in the one it means ‟the standard regulating belief in reality or unreality,” (and this we shall discuss in our refutation¹); in the other it denotes the standard of action by conforming to which in the conduct of life we perform some actions and abstain from others; and it is of the latter that we are now speaking.
