[58] ἀλλὰ κατειλήφθω ἡ διάνοια,
καὶ ὡμολογήσθω τὸ εἶναι ταύτην καθ’ ὑπόθεσιν· ¹² 70 λέγω ὅτι οὐ δύναται κρίνειν τὰ πράγματα. εἰ γὰρ μηδ’ ἑαυτὴν ἀκριβῶς ὁρᾷ, ἀλλὰ διαφωνεῖ περί τε τῆς οὐσίας αὑτῆς καὶ τοῦ τρόπου τῆς γενέσεως καὶ τοῦ τόπου ἐν ᾧ ἔστιν,
πῶς ἂν δυνηθείη τῶν ἄλλων τι ἀκριβῶς καταλαμβάνειν;

[58] But let it be granted that the intellect has been apprehended, and let us agree, by way of assumption, that it really exists; I still affirm that it cannot judge objects. For if it does not even discern itself accurately but contradicts itself about its own existence and the mode of its origin and the position in which it is placed,¹ how can it be able to apprehend anything else accurately?
