[8] ἀλλ’ εἶ μὲν ἐξ ἑαυτοῦ περιπτωτικῶς
κατ’ ἐνάργειαν λέγοι ὑποπεσεῖν αὐτῷ καὶ κατειλῆφθαι τὸ ἄδηλον, οὕτως ἂν οὐδὲ ἄδηλον εἵη ἀλλὰ πᾶσιν ἐπ’ ἴσης φαινόμενον καὶ ὁμολογούμενον καὶ μὴ διαπεφωνημένον. περὶ ἑκάστου δὲ τῶν ἀδήλων ἀνήνυτος γέγονε παρ’ αὐτοῖς
διαφωνία· οὐκ ἄρα ἐξ ἑαυτοῦ καὶ κατ’ ἐνάργειαν ὑποπεσὸν αὐτῷ κατειληφὼς ἂν εἴη τὸ ἄδηλον ὁ περὶ τῆς ὑπάρξεως αὐτοῦ διαβεβαιούμενός τε καὶ ἀποφαινόμενος δογματικός.

[8] But if he shall say that the non-evident object has impressed him and has been apprehended through itself, immediately and clearly, in this case the object would not be non-evident but apparent to all men equally, an acknowledged and uncontroverted fact. But about every single object that is non-evident there exists amongst them endless controversy; so that the Dogmatist who makes positive assertions about the reality of a non-evident object cannot have apprehended it because of its having made on him a direct and clear impression.
