Τῶν αὐτῶν ὄντων ἐὰν τὸ Δ σημεῖον ἐπί τινος ᾖ τῶν ἀσυμπτώτων, ἡ ἀπὸ τοῦ Β ἐπὶ τὸ Ζ ἀγομένη παράλληλος ἔσται τῇ αυτῇ ἀσυμπτώτῳ. ὑποκείσθω γὰρ τὰ αὐτά, καὶ τὸ Δ σημεῖον ἔστω ἐπὶ μιᾶς τῶν ἀσυμπτώτων τῆς ΜΝ. δεικ τέον, ὅτι ἡ ἀπὸ τοῦ Β τῇ ΜΝ παράλληλος ἀγομένη ἐπὶ τὸ Ζ πεσεῖται. />μὴ γάρ, ἀλλ’, εἰ δυνατόν, ἔστω ἡ ΒΗ. ἔσται δή, ὡς ἡ ΓΔ πρὸς ΔΕ, ἡ ΓΗ πρὸς ΗΕ· ὅπερ ἀδύνατον.
