[240] ὡς γὰρ ὁ σκεπτικὸς <ἀδοξάστως> χρῆται τῇ ‘οὐδὲν ὁρίζω᾿ φωνῇ καὶ τῇ ‘οὐδὲν καταλαμβάνω,’ καθάπερ εἰρήκαμεν, οὕτω καὶ ὁ μεθοδικὸς
‘κοινότητα’ λέγει καὶ ‘διήκειν’ καὶ τὰ παραπλήσια ἀπεριέργως. οὕτω δὲ καὶ τὸ τῆς ἐνδείξεως ὄνομα ἀδοξάστως παραλαμβάνει ἀντὶ τῆς ἀπὸ τῶν φαινομένων παθῶν τῶν τε κατὰ φύσιν καὶ τῶν παρὰ φύσιν ὁδηγήσεως ἐπὶ τὰ κατάλληλα
εἶναι δοκοῦντα, ὡς καὶ ἐπὶ δίψους καὶ ἐπὶ λιμοῦ καὶ τῶν ἄλλων ὑπεμίμνῃσκον.

[240] For just as the Sceptic uses the expressions ‟I determine nothing” and ‟I apprehend nothing,” as we have said, in an undogmatic sense, even so the Methodic speaks of ‟generality”¹ and ‟pervade” and the like in a non-committal way. So also he employs the term ‟indication” in an undogmatic sense to denote the guidance derived from the apparent affections, or symptoms, both natural and contra-natural, for the discovery of the seemingly appropriate remedies— as, in fact, I mentioned in regard to hunger and thirst and the other affections.
