Ἔτι πᾶν αἰσθητὸν ὧς αἰσθητὸν ἀδίδακτόν ἐστιν. οὔτε γὰρ τὸ λευκὸν χρῶμα διδάσκεταί τις ὁρᾶν οὔτε τοῦ γλυκέος μανθάνει γεύεσθαι, οὐ θερμοῦ ἀντιλαμβάνεσθαι, οὐκ ἄλλου τινὸς τοιούτου· ἀλλ’ ἐκ φύσεως καὶ ἀδιδάκτως πάντων αὐτῶν πάρεστιν ἡμῖν ἡ γνῶσις. τὸ δὲ σημεῖον ὧς σημεῖον μετὰ πολλῶν, ὥς φασι, μόχθων διδάσκεται, οἷον τὸ κατὰ κυβερνητικήν, ὅτι ἀνέμων ἐστὶ δηλωτικὸν καὶ χειμώνων ἢ εὐδίας.
