[25] ὁ δ’ Ἐπίκουρός (fr. 310 Us.) φησιν ἄνθρωπον εἶναι τὸ τοιουτονὶ μόρφωμα μετὰ ἐμψυχίας. καὶ κατὰ τοῦτον δέ, ἐπεὶ ὁ
ἄνθρωπος δείξει ἐμφανίζεται, ὁ μὴ δεικνύμενος οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος, καὶ εἰ μὲν γυναῖκα δείκνυσί τις, ὁ ἀνὴρ οὐκ ἔσται ἄνθρωπος, εἰ δὲ ἄνδρα, ἡ γυνὴ ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἔσται. τὰ δὲ αὐτὰ ἐπιχειρήσομεν καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς διαφορᾶς τῶν περιστάσεων ἃς ἴσμεν ἐκ τοῦ τετάρτου τρόπου τῆς ἐποχῆς (1100—117).

[25] Again, Epicurus says that Man is ‟This sort of a shape combined with vitality.”¹ According to him, then, since Man is shown by pointing out, he that is not pointed out is not a man, and if anyone points out a female, the male will not be Man, while if he points out a male the female will not be Man. And we shall also draw the same inferences from the difference in the circumstances which we learn from the Fourth Mode of Suspension.²
