τῶν δὲ οὐκ ὄντων ὡς οὐκ ἕστιν‘‘. καὶ μαρτυρεῖν φαίνεται τούτῳ ὁ ἀντικείμενος λόγος. εἰ γὰρ φήσει σοί] τις μὴ πάντων τῶν πραγμάτων κριτήριον εἶναι τὸν ἄνθρωπον, βεβαιώσει τὸ πάντων τῶν πραγμάτων κριτήριον εἶναι τὸν ἄνθρωπον· αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ τοῦτο λέγων ἄνθρωπός ἐστιν, καὶ <κριτήριον> τὸ ὧς πρὸς αὐτὸν τιθεὶς ὁμολογεῖ καὶ αὐτὸ τοῦτο τῶν ὧς πρὸς αὐτὸν φαινομένων ὑπάρχειν. ὅθεν καὶ ὁ μεμηνὼς τῶν ἐν μανίᾳ φαινομένων πιστόν ἐστι κριτήριον, καὶ ὁ κοιμώμενος τῶν ἐν ὕπνοις καὶ ὁ νήπιος τῶν ἐν νηπιότητι καὶ ὁ γεγηρακὼς τῶν ἐν γήρᾳ προσπιπτόντων.
