Clicking on 'previous entries' (even if it's page 2 of the above,
so why previous?) an interesting book review appears:

Pyrrhonism: How the Ancient Greeks Reinvented Buddhism. By Adrian
Kuzminski. Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2008, 170 pages, ISBN:
978-0739125069 (hardcover), US$65.00.

excerpt: 
The author goes on to expand further the points of similarity
between Madhyamaka Buddhism and Pyrrhonism. He argues that,
between them, there are important points of agreement in five key
areas: method, belief, suspension of judgment, tranquility and
appearances. With respect to method, both the Madhyamaka
(according to Candrakīrti’s The Entry into the Middle Way) and
Pyrrhonism (according to Sextus Empiri-cus) test dogmatic
assertions—any claims which move beyond the immediate and
involuntary evidence of the senses to say something about the
hidden nature of appearances or reified concepts—by setting out
the oppositions and contradictions involved in them. Both take
this to lead to suspension of judgment, with the final result of
peaceful liberation.
Suspension of judgment marks a third area of similarity. What
Pyrrhonists call epoché (suspension of judgment) is paralleled by
what the Madhyamaka understand as recognition of emptiness
(śūnyatā).
