[91] λείπεται λέγειν, ὅτι τῶν ἀληθῶν τὰ μέν ἐστι φαινόμενα, τὰ δὲ ἄδηλα· ἔστι δὲ καὶ τοῦτο ἄτοπον. ἤτοι γὰρ πάντα τά τε φαινόμενα καὶ τὰ ἄδηλά ἐστιν ἀληθῆ, ἤ τινα φαινόμενα καί τινα ἄδηλα. εἰ μὲν οὖν πάντα, πάλιν περιτραπήσεται ὁ λόγος, ἀληθοῦς εἶναι διδομένου
καὶ τοῦ μηδὲν εἶναι ἀληθές, λεχθήσεταί τε ἀλη- θὲς καὶ τὸ ἀρτίους εἶναι τοὺς ἀστέρας καὶ τὸ περιττοὺς τούτους ὑπάρχειν.

[91] The remaining alternative is to say that of the true some are apparent, some non-evident; but this too is absurd. For either all the apparent and all the non-evident are true, or some of the apparent and some of the non-evident. If, then, we say ‟all,” the argument will again be overthrown, since the truth is granted of the statement ‟nothing is true,” and the truth will be asserted of both the statements ‟the stars are even in number” and ‟they are odd.”
