ὁ μὴ γινώσκων ἕκαστον τῶν λεγομένων παρὰ τοῖς δογματικοῖς οὐ δύναται ζητεῖν πρὸς αὐτοὺς περὶ ὧν οὐκ οἶδεν. οὐδαμῶς ἄρα δύναται ζητεῖν ὁ ὒ σκεπτικὸς περὶ τῶν λεγομένων παρὰ τοῖς δογματικοῖς.

[3] For just as he who is ignorant, for instance, of the arguments known as ‟How far reduced”¹ or ‟By two hypotheses,”² is unable also to say anything about them, so the man who does not know each of the statements made by the Dogmatists is unable to criticize them concerning matters of which he has no knowledge. Thus the Sceptic is wholly incapable of investigating the statements made by the Dogmatists.
