[99] πλὴν ἀλλ’ <εἰ> ἐνεχώρει καὶ ταύτας
μόνας ὑποκεῖσθαι παρὰ τῷ μήλῳ τὰς ποιότητας ὣν ἀντιλαμβάνεσθαι δοκοῦμεν, καὶ πλείους τούτων, ἢ πάλιν μηδὲ τἀς ἡμῖν ὑποπιπτούσας, ἄδηλον ἡμῖν ἔσται ὁποῖόν ἐστι τὸ μῆλον. ὁ δὲ αὐτὸς καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἄλλων αἰσθητῶν
λόγος. τῶν τῶν αἰσθήσεων μέντοι μὴ καταλαμβανουσῶν τὰ ἐκτός, οὐδὲ ἡ διάνοια ταῦτα δύναται κατ’ καταλαμβάνειν, <σφαλλουσῶν αὐτὴν τῶν ὁδηγῶν> ὥστε καὶ διὰ τοῦτον τὸν λόγον ἡ περὶ τῶν ἐκτὸς ὑποκειμένων ἐποχὴ συνάγεσθαι δόξει.

[99] If, however, it is possible that only those qualities which we seem to perceive subsist in the apple, or that a greater number subsist, or, again, that not even the qualities which affect us subsist, then it will be non- evident to us what the nature of the apple really is. And the same argument applies to all the other objects of sense. But if the senses do not apprehend external objects, neither can the mind apprehend them; hence, because of this argument also, we shall be driven, it seems, to suspend judgement regarding the external underlying objects.
