ἔχει δὲ καὶ αὐτὰ τὰ μαθήματα διαφορὰν καίπερ ὁμογενῆ πως ὄντα, διῄρηται δ᾽ ἱκανῶς. εἰ δὲ καὶ ἔνια γνωστὰ τῷ ἄγνωστα εἶναι, καθάπερ τινές φασιν, ἴδιος ἂν ὁ τρόπος εἴη, διαιρέσεως δέ τινος δεῖται· τάχα δ᾽ ἐφ᾽ ὧν ἐνδέχεται κατ᾽ ἀναλογίαν οἰκειότερον λέγειν ἢ αὐτῷ τῷ ἀγνώστῳ, καθάπερ εἴ τις τῷ ἀοράτῳ τὸ ὁρατόν. πόσοι δ᾽ οὖν τρόποι καὶ ποσαχῶς τὸ εἰδέναι πειρατέον διελεῖν.
