[203] ὅταν οὖν εἴπω ‘παντὶ λόγῳ λόγος ἴσος ἀντίκειται’ δυνάμει τοῦτό φημι ‘παντὶ τῷ ὑπ’ ἐμοῦ ζητουμένῳ λόγῳ, ὃς κατασκευάζει τι δογματικῶς, ἕτερος λόγος κατασκευάζων τι δογματικῶς, ἴσος αὐτῷ κατὰ πίστιν
καὶ ἀπιστίαν, ἀντικεῖσθαι φαίνεταί μοι,, ὡς εἶναι τὴν τοῦ λόγου προφορὰν οὐ δογματικὴν ἀλλ’ ἀνθρωπείου πάθους ἀπαγγελίαν, ὅ ἐστι φαινόμενον τῷ πάσχοντι.

[203] So whenever I say ‟To every argument an equal argument is opposed,” what I am virtually saying is ‟To every argument investigated by me which establishes a point dogmatically, it seems to me there is opposed another argument, establishing a point dogmatically, which is equal to the first in respect of credibility and incredibility;” so that the utterance of the phrase is not a piece of dogmatism,¹ but the announcement of a human state of mind which is apparent to the person experiencing it.
