[223] εἰ δέ τινα καὶ σκεπτικῶς προφέρεται, ὅταν, ὡς φασί, γυμνάζηται, οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο ἔσται σκεπτικός· ὁ γὰρ περὶ ἑνὸς δογματίζων, ἢ προκρίνων φαντασίαν φαντασίας ὅλως κατὰ πίστιν ἢ ἀπιστίαν <ἤ ἀποφαινόμενος> περί τινος τῶν ἀδήλω, τοῦ
δογματικοῦ γίνεται χαρακτῆρος, ὡς δηλοῖ καὶ ὁ Τίμων (Fr. poet. phil. p. 200 Diels = Vorsokr. 2 11 A 35) διὰ τῶν περὶ Ξενοφάνους αὐτῷ λεγομένων.
