[121] Πρὸς τούτοις κἀκεῖνο λεκτέον. διαφωνία γέγονε παρὰ τοῖς πρὸ ἡμῶν, τῶν μὲν λεγόντων εἷναί τι σημεῖον ἐνδεικτικόν, τῶν δὲ μηδὲν εἶναι σημεῖον ἐνδεικτικὸν φασκόντων.

[121] Furthermore, there is this also to be said. Amongst our predecessors there existed a controversy, some declaring that an indicative sign exists, others maintaining that no indicative sign exists.¹ He, then, who asserts the existence of an indicative sign will assert it either simply and without proof, making a bald assertion, or by the aid of proof. But if he shall employ mere assertion he will not gain credence; while if he shall propose to prove it he will be assuming the matter in question.
