565     Not,       2     |             Democr., by which he meant that knowledge which stops at
566     Not,       2     |              sense-knowledge, but held that real knowledge was attainable
567     Not,       2     |                it (cf. R. and P. 148). That επιστημη in the strict sense

610     Not,       2     |            trying to solve the sophism that it is called peculiarly
611     Not,       2     |                ecfatum. It is probable that this spelling was antique

615     Not,       2     |          assume, as this sophism does, that when a man truly states
616     Not,       2     |                when a man truly states that he has told a lie, he establishes
617     Not,       2     |             against himself not merely that he has told a lie, but also
618     Not,       2     |               has told a lie, but also that he is telling a lie at the
619     Not,       2     |       quaecumque fiant. The context of that passage should be carefully
620     Not,       2     |              true; yet he always feels that there is a possibility of
621     Not,       2     |                Stoics themselves admit that the senses are often deceived.
622     Not,       2     |        impossible (101). It is strange that our Probables do not seem

624     Not,       2     |             The latter mode leaves all that is required for ordinary
625     Not,       2     |           which cannot. Is it possible that any one should read the
626     Not,       2     |               point, and still believe that Cic. is capable of supposing,
627     Not,       2     |          supposing, even for a moment, that Carneades in any way upheld
628     Not,       2     |             probabilia. Tamen ought in that case to follow dicimus,

640     Not,       2     |              is absurd. We do not deny that the difference exists; we
