τοῦ μὲν οὖν καταλαμβάνοντος καὶ συνιέντος καὶ τὰς ἑαυτοῦ δυνάμεις ἐπισταμένου ἄκρως γένοιτ’ ἂν ἔργον πολεμῆσαι τῷ φιλέριδι καὶ σοφιστικῷ στίφει· νικήσειν γὰρ τὸν τοιοῦτον ἐλπίς. ᾧ δὲ ἔτι τὸ ἀγνοίας ἐπιπροσθεῖ σκότος, μήπω τοῦ τῆς ἐπιστήμης ἀναλάμψαι φέγγους ἰσχυκότος, ἀσφαλὲς οἴκοι καταμεῖναι, τουτέστιν εἰς τὴν περὶ ὧν ἄκρως οὐ κατείληφε μὴ παρελθεῖν ἅμιλλαν, ἀλλ’ ἠρεμῆσαί τε καὶ ἡσυχάσαι.
