ὥστε ἀνάγκην ἔχειν καὶ τῇ κοινῇ ποτὲ τοῦ ἀληθοῦς καὶ ψευδοῦς φαντασίᾳ χρῆσθαι. οὐ μέντοι διὰ τὴν σπάνιον ταύτης παρέμπτωσιν, λέγω δὲ τῆς μιμουμένης τὸ ἀληθές, ἀπιστητέον ἐστὶ τῇ ὧς <ἐπὶ> τὸ πολύ ἀληθευούσῃ· τῷ γὰρ ἐπὶ τὸ πολὺ τἀς τε κρίσεις καὶ τὰς πράξεις κανονίζεσθαι συμβέβηκεν. Τὸ μὲν οὖν πρῶτον καὶ κοινὸν κριτήριον κατὰ τοὺς περὶ τὸν Καρνεάδην ἐστὶ τοιοῦτον·
