Though Sextus Empiricus was a member of the school shortly after Menodotus, he tells us little about any aspects of the Empirics’ views other than the purely negative. Our knowledge of the positive side of their doctrines, on how to learn from experience, comes from two obscure books of Galen, An Outline of Empiricism, which exists only in a Latin translation of 1341, and On Medical Experience, most of which survives only in Arabic.27 Both works were almost unknown until modern times.
