ἐξαπατᾷ δὲ ἐνίους ἡ διαφορὰ φορὰ τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ αὐτοῦ αἰσθητοῦ, οἷον ὁρατοῦ, δοκουσῶν προσπίπτειν φαντασιῶν, καθ’ ἣν ἢ ἀλλοιόχρουν ἢ ἀλλοιόσχημον ἢ ἄλλως πως ἐξηλλαγμένον φαίνεται τὸ ὑποκείμενον. ὑπενόησαν γὰρ ὅτι τῶν οὕτω διαφερουσῶν καὶ μαχομένων φαντασιῶν δεῖ τὴν μέν τινα ἀληθῆ εἶναι, τὴν δ’ ἐκ τῶν ἐναντίων ψευδῆ τυγχάνειν. ὅπερ ἐστὶν εὔηθες καὶ ἀνδρῶν μὴ συνορώντων τὴν ἐν τοῖς οὖσι φύσιν.
