κατὰ δὲ τὴν πρὸς τὸν φαντασιούμενον σχέσιν ἡ μέν ἐστι φαινομένη ἀληθὴς ἡ δὲ οὐ φαινομένη ἀληθής, ὧν ἡ μὲν φαινομένη ἀληθὴς ἔμφασις καλεῖται παρὰ τοῖς Ἀκαδημαϊκοῖς καὶ πιθανότης καὶ πιθανὴ φαντασία, ἡ δ’ οὐ φαινομένη ἀληθὴς ἀπέμφασίς τε προσαγορεύεται καὶ ἀπειθὴς καὶ ἀπίθανος φαντασία· οὔτε γὰρ τὸ αὐτόθεν φαινόμενον ψευδὲς οὔτε τὸ ἀληθὲς μέν, μὴ φαινόμενον δὲ ἡμῖν πείθειν ἡμᾶς πέφυκεν.
