Περὶ ἀληθείας, ὦ Τάτ, οὐκ ἔστι δυνατὸν ⟨κατ᾽ ἀξίαν εἰπεῖν⟩ ἄνθρωπον ὄντα, ζῷον ἀτελές, ἐξ ἀτελῶν συγκείμενον μερῶν, καὶ ἐξ ἀλλοτρίων σωμάτων καὶ πολλῶν τὸ σκῆνος ⟨ἔχοντα⟩ συνεστός [τολμήσαντα εἰπεῖν]· ὃ δέ ἐστι δυνατόν [ἢ δίκαιον], τοῦτο φημί, ἀλήθειαν εἶναι ἐν μόνοις τοῖς ἀιδίοις [σώμασιν] ⟨...⟩ ⎡ων⎤.
