[92] εἰ δέ τινα τῶν φαινομένων καί τινα τῶν ἀδήλων ἐστὶν ἀληθῆ, πῶς ἐπικρινοῦμεν, ὅτι τῶν φαινομένων
τάδε μέν ἐστιν ἀληθῆ, τάδε δὲ ψευδῆ; εἰ μὲν <γὰρ> διὰ φαινομένου, εἰς ἄπειρον ἐκβάλλεται ὁ λόγος· εἰ δὲ δι’ ἀδήλου, ἐπεὶ καὶ τὰ ἄδηλα δεῖται κρίσεως, πάλιν τοῦτο <τὸ> ¹ 78 ἄδηλον διὰ τίνος κριθήσεται; εἰ μὲν <γὰρ> διὰ ὁ διάλληλος εὑρίσκεται τρόπος, εἰ δὲ δι’ ἀδήλου, ὁ εἰς ἄπειρον
ἐκβάλλων.

[92] But if some of the apparent are true and some of the non-evident, how shall we judge that of the apparent these are true but those false? For if we do so by means of an apparent thing, the argument is thrown back ad infinitum; and if by means of a thing non-evident, then, since the non-evidents also require to be judged, by what means is this non-evident thing to be judged? If by an apparent thing, we fall into circular reasoning; and if by a thing non-evident, into the regress ad infinitum.
