Τῶν αὐτῶν ὄντων ἔστω τὸ Δ σημεῖον ἐπὶ μιᾶς τῶν ἀσυμπτώτων, καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ γινέσθω τὰ αὐτά. λέγω, ὅτι ἡ ἀπὸ τῆς ἁφῆς ἐπ’ ἄκραν τὴν ἀποληφθεῖσαν ἀγομένη παράλληλος ἔσται τῇ ἀσυμπτώτῳ, ἐφ’ ἧς ἔσται τὸ Δ σημεῖον. ἔστω γὰρ τὰ εἰρημένα, καὶ κείσθω τῇ ΔΕ ἴση ἡ ΕΖ, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Β παράλληλος τῇ ΜΝ ἤχθω, εἰ δυνατόν, ἡ ΒΗ. ἴση ἄρα ἡ ΔΕ τῇ ΕΗ· ὅπερ ἄτοπον· ὑπόκειται γὰρ ἡ ΔΕ τῇ ΕΖ ἴση.
