ἄλλως τε, εἰ ὄψις ἐστὶ τῶν ἀδήλων τὰ φαινόμενα, θεωροῦμεν δὲ τὰ πολὺ παχυμερέστερα τοῦ πνεύματος τῶν φαινομένων σώματα μηδ’ ὁντινοῦν περὶ αὑτοῖς τύπον δυνάμενα τηρεῖν, εὔλογόν ἐστι μηδὲ τὸ πνεῦμα ἕνα μόνον τινὰ <περὶ> αὐτῷ φαντασίας τύπον φυλάττειν. καὶ μὴν τὸ ὕδωρ παχυμερέστερόν ἐστι πνεύματος· ἀλλ’ οὐδέποτε δακτύλου ἐπερεισθέντος αὐτῷ πέφηνε τὸν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπερείσεως τύπον φυλάττον.
