[67] εἰ δὲ ταῖς αἰσθήσεσι τἀς αἰσθήσεις καὶ τῇ διανοίᾳ τὰς διανοίας ἐπικρινοῦσιν, ἐπειδὴ μάχονται καὶ αἰσθήσεις αἰσθήσεσι καὶ διάνοιαι διανοίαις, ἥντινα ἂν
λάβωσιν ἀπὸ τῶν μαχομένων αἰσθήσεων πρὸς τὴν κρίσιν τῶν ἄλλων αἰσθήσεων, τὸ ζητούμενον συναρπάσουσιν· μέρος γὰρ τῆς διαφωνίας ὧς πιστὸν ἤδη λήψονται πρὸς τὴν τῶν ἐπ’ ἴσης αὐτῷ ζητουμένων ἐπίκρισιν.

[67] And if they shall judge the senses by the senses and the intellects by the intellect, then, since both senses conflict with senses and intellects with intellects, whichever of the conflicting senses they shall adopt for judging the rest of the senses, they will be assuming the matter in question; for they will be adopting one section of the series in dispute, as being already reliable, to decide about the others which, equally with it, are in question.
