[126] εἰ δὲ φαινόμενόν ἐστι τὸ σημειωτόν,
οὐδὲ σημειωτὸν ἔσται μὴ δεόμενον τοῦ σημανοῦντος αὐτὸ καὶ ἐκκαλύψοντος. ὅθεν ὥσπερ ἀναιρουμένου δεξιοῦ οὐδὲ ἀριστερὸν ἔστιν, οὕτως ἀναιρουμένου τοῦ σημειωτοῦ οὐδὲ σημεῖον εἶναι δύναται, ὥστε ἀνύπαρκτον ¹² 85 εὑρίσκεται τὸ σημεῖον, εἴπερ φαινόμενα μόνα εἶναι λέγοι τις τὰ σημεῖα.

[126] And if the thing signified is apparent, it will not even be signified, as it requires nothing to signify and reveal it. Hence, just as when ‟right” is abolished there exists no ‟left,” so when the thing signified is abolished there can exist no sign, so that the sign is found to be unreal, if one should declare that the signs are apparent only.
