πλὴν ὁ μὲν Ἐπίκου- ρος, ὡς ἄν τις εἰκοβολῶν εἴποι, ἀπὸ τοιούτων τινῶν ἀφορμῶν πολεμεῖν τοῖς μαθήμασιν ἠξίου, οἱ δέ ἀπὸ Πύρρωνος οὔτε διὰ τὸ μηδέν συνεργεῖν αὐτὰ πρὸς σοφίαν, δογματικὸς γὰρ ὁ λόγος, οὔτε διὰ τὴν προσοῦσαν αὐτοῖς ἀπαιδευσίαν· σὺν γὰρ τῷ πεπαιδεῦσθαι καὶ πολυπειροτέ- ρους παρὰ τοὺς ἄλλους ὑπάρχειν φιλοσόφους ἔτι καὶ 〈ἀ〉διαφόρως ἔχουσι πρὸς τὴν παρὰ τοῖς πολλοῖς δόξαν·
