[Note] that when a probe has been inserted into the eye, we do not apprehend the sensible objects, nor the air that happens to be between [sc. the eye and the probe], but what has been illuminated.2 This is also the reason that perceptions of the proper sense organs are not apprehended.3

Μήλη· ἡ ἰατρική. ὅτι μήλης ἐντεθείσης τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ, οὐκ ἀντιλαμβανόμεθα τῶν αἰσθητῶν καὶ οὐδὲ τοῦ μεταξὺ ὡς ἔτυχεν ἀέρος ἔχοντος, ἀλλὰ πεφωτισμένου. καὶ αὕτη ἡ αἰτία τοῦ μὴ τὰς αἰσθήσεις τῶν ἰδίων αἰσθητηρίων ἀντιλαμβάνεσθαι.
