the Academics could not be held to be philosophers if they had not even confidence in their one dogma (29).

Sec.19. Sensibus:  it is important to observe that the word sensus like [Greek:  aisthesis] means two things, (1) one of the five senses, (2) an individual act of sensation. Deus:  for the supposed god cf. T.D. II. 67. Non videam:  this strong statement is ridiculed in 80. De remo inflexo et de collo columbae:  cf. 79, 82.  The [Greek:  kope enalos keklasmene] and [Greek:  peristeras trachelos] are frequently mentioned, along with numerous other instances of the deceptiveness of sense, by Sext.  Emp., e.g. Pyrrhon.  Hypot. I. 119-121, Adv.  Math. VII. 244, 414.  Cicero, in his speech of the day before, had probably added other examples, cf.  Aug. Cont.  Ac. III. 27. Epicurus hoc viderit:  see 79, 80.  Epic. held all sensation, per se, to be infallible.  The chief authorities for this are given in R. and P. 343, 344, Zeller 403, footnote. Lumen mutari:  cf. Brut. 261. Intervalla ... diducimus:  for this cf.  Sext. Pyrrh.  I. 118 [Greek:  pemptos esti logos] (i.e. the 5th sceptic [Greek:  tropos] for showing sense to be untrustworthy) [Greek:  ho para tas theseis] (situs) [Greek:  kai ta diastemata] (intervalla) [Greek:  kai tous topous]. Multaque facimus usque eo:  Sext. Adv.  Math. VII. 258 [Greek:  panta poiei mechris an tranen kai plektiken spase phantasian]. Sui iudicii:  see for the gen. M.D.F. II. 27; there is an extraordinary instance in Plaut. Persa V. 2, 8, quoted by Goer. Sui cuiusque:  for this use of suus quisque as a single word see M.D.F. V. 46.

Sec.20. Ut oculi ... cantibus:  Halm after Dav. treats this as a gloss:  on the other hand I think it appropriate and almost necessary. Quis est quin cernat:  read Madvig’s strong remarks on Goerenz’s note here (D.F. II. 27). Umbris ... eminentia:  Pliny (see Forc.) often uses umbra and lumen, to denote background and foreground, so in Gk. [Greek:  skia] and [Greek:  skiasma] are opposed to [Greek:  lampra]; cf. also [Greek:  skiagraphein], adumbrare, and Aesch. Agam. 1328.  Cic. often applies metaphorically to oratory the two words here used, e.g. De Or. III. 101, and after him Quintilian, e.g.  II. 17, 21. Inflatu:  cf. 86 (where an answer is given) and [Greek:  anabole]. Antiopam:  of Pacuvius. Andromacham:  of Ennius, often quoted by Cic., as De Div. I. 23. Interiorem:  see R. and P. 165 and Zeller’s Socrates and the Socratic Schools, 296. Quia sentiatur:  [Greek:  aisthesis] being their only [Greek:  kriterion].  Madv. (without necessity, as a study of the passages referred to in R. and P. and Zeller will show) conj. cui adsentiatur, comparing 39, 58; cf. also 76. Inter
