εἰ δὲ ὧς πρὸς τὴν τἀληθοῦς εὕρεσιν, διαπεσοῦνται. οὔτε γὰρ ἡ πιθανὴ μόνον κριτήριον τἀληθοῦς· δεῖ γάρ, ἴνα τοῦτο εὑρεθῇ, πολὺ πρότερον αὐτὴν περιωδευμένην <.....>, διὰ τὸ πάντως ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ διοδεύειν ἕκαστον τῶν κατὰ τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς θεωρουμένων [μὴ] εἰς ὑπόνοιαν μήποτε παραλέλειπταί <τι> τῶν ὀφειλόντων κατὰ τὸν ἐξετάζεσθαι, ὅτι περισπασμοῦ περὶ τὴν διάνοιαν συμβαίνοντος αἴρεται ἡ τῆς ἀληθείας γνῶσις.
