αἰσθήσεως δὲ ἴδιον ὑπῆρχε <τὸ> τοῦ παρόντος καὶ κινοῦντος αὐτὴν ἀντιλαμβάνεσθαι, οἷον χρώματος, οὐχὶ δὲ τὸ διακρίνειν ὅτι ἄλλο μέν ἐστι τὸ ἐνθάδε ἄλλο δὲ τὸ ἐνθάδε ὑποκείμενον. διόπερ αἱ μὲν φαντασίαι διὰ ταῦτα πᾶσαί εἰσιν ἀληθεῖς, <αἱ δὲ δόξαι οὐ πᾶσαι ἦσαν ἀληθεῖς> ἀλλ’ εἶχόν τινα διαφοράν. τούτων γὰρ αἱ μὲν ἦσαν ἀληθεῖς αἱ δὲ ψευδεῖς, ἐπείπερ κρίσεις καθεστᾶσιν ἡμῶν ἐπὶ ταῖς φαντασίαις, κρίνομεν δὲ τὰ μὲν ὀρθῶς, τὰ δὲ μοχθηρῶς ἤτοι παρὰ τὸ προστιθέναι τι καὶ προσνέμειν ταῖς φαντασίαις ἢ παρὰ τὸ ἀφαιρεῖν τι τούτων καὶ κοινῶς καταψεύδεσθαι τῆς αἰσθήσεως.
