[198] Καὶ ἡ ἀοριστία δὲ πάθος διανοίας ἐστί, καθ’ ὃ οὔτε αἴρομέν τι οὔτε τίθεμεν τῶν δογματικῶς ζητουμένων, τουτέστι τῶν ἀδήλων. ὅταν οὖν λέγῃ ὁ σκεπτικὸς ‘πάντα ἐστὶν ἀόριστα᾿ τὸ μὲν ‘ἔστι’ λαμβάνει ἀντὶ τοῦ ‘φαίνεσθαι
αὐτῷ, πάντα δὲ λέγει οὐ τὰ ὄντα ἀλλ’ ἅπερ διεξῆλθε τῶν παρὰ τοῖς δογματικοῖς ζητουμένων ἀδήλων, ἀόριστα δὲ μὴ προύχοντα τῶν ἀντικειμένων ἢ κοινῶς μαχομένων κατὰ πίστιν ἢ ἀπιστίαν.

[198] Indetermination is a state of mind in which we neither deny nor affirm any of the matters which are subjects of dogmatic inquiry, that is to say, non- evident. So whenever the Sceptic says ‟All things are undetermined,” he takes the word ‟are” in the sense of ‟appear to him,” and by ‟all things” he means not existing things but such of the non-evident matters investigated by the Dogmatists as he has examined, and by ‟undetermined” he means not superior in point of credibility or incredibility to things opposed, or in any way conflicting.¹
