ἐν δὲ τῷ Περὶ ἰδεῶν (B 6 Diels)· ‘‘γιγνώσκειν τε χρή” φησίν, τῷδε τῷ κανόνι, ὅτι ἐτεῆς ἀπήλλακται,“ καὶ πάλιν (B 7 Diels)· “δηλοῖ μὲν δὴ καὶ οὗτος ὁ λόγος, ὅτι ἐτεῇ οὐδὲν ἴσμεν περὶ οὐδενός, ἀλλ’ ἐπιρυσμίη ἑκάστοισιν ἡ δόξις,” καὶ ἔτι (B8 Diels)· ‘‘καίτοι δῆλον ἔσται, ὅτι ἐτεῇ οἶον ἕκαστον γιγνώσκειν ἐν ἀπόρῳ ἐστί.” καὶ δὴ ἐν μὲν τούτοις πᾶσαν σχεδὸν κινεῖ κατάληψιν, καὶ μόνον ἐξαιρέτως καθάπτεται τῶν αἰσθήσεων·
