Ἔστι δὲ καὶ ἐπαπορητικόν τι πρᾶγμα διενηνοχὸς ἀξιώματος, ὃ εἰ λέγοι τις, ἀποροίη ἄν· ἆρʼ ἔστι συγγενές τι λύπη καὶ βίος; οὔτε δʼ ἀληθῆ ἐστιν οὔτε ψευδῆ τὰ ἐρωτήματα καὶ τὰ πύσματα καὶ τὰ τούτοις παραπλήσια, τῶν ἀξιωμάτων ἢ ἀληθῶν ἢ ψευδῶν ὄντων. Τῶν ἀξιωμάτων τὰ μέν ἐστιν ἁπλᾶ, τὰ δʼ οὐχ ἁπλᾶ, ὥς φασιν οἱ περὶ Χρύσιππον καὶ Ἀρχέδημον καὶ Ἀθηνόδωρον καὶ Ἀντίπατρον καὶ Κρῖνιν. ἁπλᾶ μὲν οὖν ἐστι τὰ συνεστῶτα ἐξ ἀξιώματος μὴ διαφορουμένου [ἢ ἐξ ἀξιωμάτων], οἷον τὸ ἡμέρα ἐστίν· οὐχ ἁπλᾶ δʼ ἐστὶ τὰ συνεστῶτʼ ἐξ ἀξιώματος διαφορουμένου ἢ ἐξ ἀξιωμάτων
