καὶ τοῦτο μὲν κοινὸν πρὸς τὴν αἴσθησίν ἐστιν αὐτῷ, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπεὶ ἕκαστον αὐτῶν χαρακτηρίζεται καὶ ὁρίζεται οὐκ ἀπὸ τοῦ κοινοῦ τοῦ πρὸς ἄλλο τι, ἀλλ᾿ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἰδίου, καὶ τοῦτο ἂν τὸ πρὸς τὴν αἴσθησιν αὐτῷ κοινὸν ὑπὸ ἰδίου χαρακτηρίζοιτο, ὥστε εἰ κοινὸν μέν ἐστιν αὐτῷ πρὸς τὴν αἴσθησιν τὸ τῶν εἰδῶν εἶναι ληπτικῷ, εἰ καὶ μὴ ὁμοίως, ἴδιον δὲ τὸ ποιητικῷ εἶναι τούτων τῶν εἰδῶν ἃ λαμβάνει, ἀπὸ τοῦ ποιεῖν ἂν μᾶλλον ὁρίζοιτο.
