ἔνθεν ὁ μὲν φυσικώτατος ‘Αναξαγόρας (B 21 Diels) ὧς ἀσθενεῖς διαβάλλων τἀς αἰσθήσεις ‘‘ὑπὸ ἀφαυρότητος αὐτῶν” φησὶν ‘‘οὐ δυνατοί ἐσμεν κρίνειν τἀληθές.” τίθησί τε πίστιν αὐτῶν τῆς ἀπιστίας τὴν παρὰ μικρὸν τῶν χρωμάτων ἐξαλλαγήν· εἰ γὰρ δύο λάβοιμεν χρώματα, μέλαν καὶ λευκόν, εἶτα ἐκ θατέρου εἰς θάτερον κατὰ σταγόνα παρεκχέοιμεν, οὐ δυνήσεται ἡ ὄψις διακρίνειν τἀς παρὰ μικρὸν μεταβολὰς καίπερ πρὸς τὴν φύσιν ὑποκειμένας.
