[31] ἴνα δὲ καὶ τὴν περὶ τοῦ σώματος ἀμφισβήτησιν παρῶμεν, πάλιν ὁ ἄνθρωπος εὑρίσκεται ἀκατάληπτος διὰ τὸ ἀκατάληπτον εἷναι τὴν ψυχήν. ὅτι δὲ ἀκατάληπτός ἐστιν αὕτη, δῆλον ἐντεῦθεν·
τῶν περὶ ψυχῆς διαλαβόντων, ἴνα τὴν πολλὴν καὶ ἀνήνυτον ¹² 63 μάχην παραλίπωμεν, οἱ μὲν μὴ εἶναι τὴν ψυχὴν ἔφασαν, ὡς οἱ περὶ τὸν Μεσσήνιον Δικαίαρχον (fr.63 Müller), οἱ δὲ εἷναι, οἱ δὲ ἐπέσχον.

[31] But, not to dwell on the controversy about the body, Man is also found to be non-apprehensible owing to the fact that his soul is non-apprehensible. That it is non-apprehensible is plain from this: of those who have treated of the soul—so that we may avoid dwelling on the long and endless controversy —some have asserted, as did Dicaearchus¹ the Messenian, that the soul has no existence, others that it has existence, and others have suspended judgement.
