XIV

Diocles of Cnidos asserts in his Diatribae, that through fear of the——followers of Theodorus the Atheist, and of the Sophist Bion, who used——to assail the "philosophers." And shrank from no means of refuting them, Arcesilaus took precautions, in order——to avoid trouble, by never appearing to suggest any dogma, but used to put forward the epoche (suspense of judgement) as a protection, like the black juice which the cuttlefishes throw out.
