Against the Physicists, Books IX-X of Against the Learned Section 145

εἰ δὲ ὁρᾷ, καὶ λευκὰ ὁρᾷ καὶ μέλανα. ἀλλ’ ἐπεὶ λευκὸν μέν ἐστι τὸ διακριτικὸν ὄψεως, μέλαν δὲ τὸ συγχυτικὸν ὄψεως, διακρίνεται τὴν ὄψιν καὶ συγχεῖται ὁ θεός. εἰ δὲ διακρίσεως καὶ συγχύσεως ἐστι δεκτικός, καὶ φθορᾶς ἔσται δεκτικός. τοίνυν εἰ ἔστι τὸ θεῖον, φθαρτόν ἐστιν. οὐχὶ δέ γε φθαρτόν ἐστιν· οὐκ ἄρα ἔστιν.

If he sees, he sees both white and black. But since white separates vision and black confuses vision, god's vision is separated and confused. If he is susceptible to separation and confusion, he will also be susceptible to destruction. Therefore, if the divine exists, it is destructible. But it is not destructible. Therefore it does not exist.

S’il voit, il voit le blanc et le noir. Mais puisque le blanc distingue la vue tandis que le noir la confond, la vue de dieu est distinguée et confondue. S’il est susceptible de distinction et de confusion, il sera aussi susceptible de corruption. Ainsi, si le divin existe, il est corruptible. Mais il n’est pas corruptible. Il n’existe donc pas.
