Sextus Empiricus Pyrrhoniae Hypotyposes 1.27.202

[202] When we say ‟To every argument an equal argument is opposed,” we mean ‟to every argument” that has been investigated by us, and the word ‟argument” we use not in its simple sense, but of that which establishes a point dogmatically (that is to say with reference to what is non-evident) and establishes it by any method, and not necessarily by means of premisses and a conclusion. ¹ We say ‟equal” with reference to credibility or incredibility, and we employ the word ‟opposed” in the general sense of ‟conflicting;” and we supply therewith in thought the phrase ‟as appears to me.”
