ὅτι οἱ μὴ τρεῖς εἶναι γενικὰς δυνάμεις ἢ οὐσίας τὰς διοικούσας ἡμῖν συγχωροῦντες, ἀλλ' ὑποτιθέμενοι μίαν εἶναι τὴν λογικὴν μόνην, οὐδὲ ταύτην ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ περιεχομένην λέγουσι· δύο πρὸς τοῦτο χρώμενοι λήμμασιν, ὧν τὸ μὲν ἕτερον ἀληθές, τὸ κατὰ τὴν οὐσίαν τοῦ ζητουμένου πράγματος ὑπάρχον· καὶ συγχωρεῖται τὸ ἔνθα τῶν νεύρων ἡ ἀρχή, ἐνταῦθα καὶ τὸ τῆς ψυχῆς ἡγεμονικόν. τὸ δὲ ἕτερον προσλαμβάνουσι ψευδῶς, τὸ ἐν καρδίᾳ δὲ τῶν νεύρων ἡ ἀρχή. τοῦτο γὰρ ἐξ ἀνατομῆς χρὴ διαγνῶναι τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς θεώμενον, οὐ τῷ λογισμῷ.
