[35] εἰ δὲ ἀναποδείκτως λεχθήσεται, ὅτι ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου δεῖ κρίνεσθαι τὰ πράγματα, ἄπιστον ἔσται, ὥστε οὐχ ἕξομεν διαβεβαιοῦσθαι, ὅτι τὸ ὑφ’ οὖ κριτήριόν ἐστιν ὁ ἄνθρωπος. ὑπὸ τίνος δὲ καὶ¹² 64 κριθήσεται, ὅτι τὸ ὑφ’ οὗ κριτήριον ὁ ἄνθρωπός ἐστιν; οὐ
γὰρ δὴ ἀκρίτως τοῦτο λέγοντες πιστευθήσονται. ἀλλ’ εἰ μὲν ὐπ’ ἀνθρώπου, τὸ ζητούμενον συναρπασθήσεται.

[35] And if it shall be asserted without proof that objects ought to be judged by Man, the assertion will be disbelieved, so that we shall be unable to affirm positively that the criterion ‟By whom” (or Agent) is Man. Moreover, who is to be the judge that the criterion of the Agent is Man? For if they assert this without a judgement (or criterion) they will surely not be believed.
