ἐπεὶ ἡ φαντασία γίνεται ἤτοι τῶν ἐκτὸς ἢ τῶν ἐν ἡμῖν παθῶν ὃ δὴ κυριώτερον διάκενος ἑλκυσμὸς παρ’ αὐτοῖς καλεῖται), πάντως ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τῆς φαντασίας συνεμφαίνεσθαι τὸ τὴν πεῖσιν γίνεσθαι ἤτοι κατὰ τὴν ἐκτὸς προσβολὴν ἢ κατὰ τὰ ἐν ἡμῖν πάθη, ὅπερ οὐκέτ’ ἔστιν ἐπὶ τῆς κατὰ τὰς αὐξήσεις ἢ θρέψεις ἑτεροιώσεως συνεξακούειν. Ἀλλ’ ἡ μὲν φαντασία κατὰ τοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς Στοᾶς οὕτω δυσαπόδοτός ἐστι· τῶν δὲ φαντασιῶν πολλαὶ μὲν καὶ ἄλλαι εἰσὶ διαφοραί, ἀπαρκέσουσι δὲ αἱ λεχθησόμεναι.
