ἦν γὰρ καταληπτικὴ φαντασία, ἴνα τις ἀπὸ ταύτης ἄρχηται, ἡ ἀπὸ ὑπάρχοντος καὶ κατ’ αὐτὸ τὸ ὑπάρχον ἐναπομεμαγμένη καὶ ἐναπεσφραγισμένη, ὁποία οὐκ ἂν γένοιτο ἀπὸ μὴ ὑπάρχοντος. τούτων δὲ τὰ μὲν ἄλλα λέγουσιν οἱ περὶ τὸν Καρνεάδην συγχωρήσειν τοῖς ἀπὸ τῆς Στοᾶς, τὸ δὲ “οἵα οὐκ ἂν γένοιτο ἀπὸ μὴ ὑπάεχοντος” ἀσυγχώρητον εἶναι. γίνονται γὰρ καὶ ἀπὸ μὴ ὑπαρχόντων φαντασίαι ὧς ἀπὸ ὑπαρχόντων.
