[116] κώς; εἰ μὲν γὰρ μὴ κρίνας, ἄπιστος ἔσται, εἰ δὲ κρίνας, δῆλον ὅτι κριτηρίῳ φήσει κεκρικέναι, οὗ κριτηρίου ζητήσομεν ἀπόδειξιν, κἀκείνης κριτήριον. χρῄζει γὰρ ἀεὶ καὶ ἡ ἀπόδειξις κριτηρίου, ἴνα βεβαιωθῇ, καὶ τὸ κριτήριον ἀποδείξεως,
ἵν́α ἀληθὲς εἶναι δειχθῇ· καὶ οὔτε ἀπόδειξις ὑγιὴς εἶναι δύναται μὴ προϋπάρχοντος κριτηρίου ἀληθοῦς, οὔτε κριτήριον ἀληθὲς μὴ προπεπιστωμένης τῆς ἀποδείξεως.

[116] If without judging, he will be discredited; but if after Judging, plainly he will say that he has judged it by a criterion; and of that criterion we shall ask for a proof, and of that proof again a criterion. For the proof always requires a criterion to confirm it, and the criterion also a proof to demonstrate its truth; and neither can a proof be sound without the previous existence of a true criterion nor can the criterion be true without the previous confirmation of the proof.
