[108] πρὸς τούτοις, εἰ ἔστι τις μεταβολή, ἤτοι x003E; αἰσθήσεις ἁπλοπαθεῖς εἰσιν, ἡ δὲ μεταβολὴ συμμνημόνευσιν ἔχειν δοκεῖ τοῦ τε ἐξ οὗ μεταβάλλει καὶ εἰς ὃ μεταβάλλειν λέγεται· εἰ δὲ νοητή ἐστιν,
ἐπεὶ περὶ τῆς ὑπάρξεως τῶν νοητῶν ἀνεπίκριτος γέγονε παρὰ τοῖς παλαιοῖς διαφωνία, καθάπερ ἤδη πολλάκις ὑπεμνήσαμεν, οὐδὲν ἕξομεν λέγειν οὐδὲ περὶ τῆς ὑπάρξεως τῆς μεταβολῆς.

[108] Further, if change exists at all it is either sensible or intelligible; but it is not sensible, since the senses are specialized,¹ whereas change is thought to possess ‟concurrent recollection”² both of that from which it changes and that into which it is said to change. And if it is intelligible, then, since (as we have frequently pointed out already³) there exists among the ancients an unsettled controversy as to the reality of intelligibles, we shall also be unable to make any assertion about the reality of change.
