Πρὸς δὲ τοὺς διὰ τῶν εἰδώλων τὸ ὁρᾶν λέγοντας γίνεσθαι πρῶτον μὲν προσαπορήσειεν ἄν τις, πῶς οὐκ ἀναλίσκεται τοσούτων ἀπορρεόντων ἕκαστον τῶν ὁρωμένων ταχέως, εἰ δὲ λέγοιεν ἀντιπροσκρίνεσθαι αὐτοῖς ἄλλα, ἀλλ᾿ οὖν τῶν ἀπορρεόντων καὶ τῶν προσκρινομένων οὐκ ὄντων ἀλλήλοις ὁμοιοσχημόνων (τὰ μὲν γὰρ ἀπορρέοντα εἴδωλα καὶ ὁμοιόμορφα, τὰ δὲ προσκρινόμενα οὐχ οὕτως προσκρίνεται) οὐκ ἔδει τὰ ὑποκείμενα καὶ ὁρώμενα ὁμοιοσχήμονα μένειν, ἀλλὰ ἄλλοτε ἀλλοῖον ἴσχειν σχῆμα.
