Τῶν αὐτῶν ὄντων ἔστω τὸ Δ σημεῖον ἐπί τινος τῶν ἀσυμπτώτων. λέγω, ὅτι ἡ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ζ ἐπὶ τὸ Γ ἀγομένη παράλληλος ἔσται τῇ ἀσυμπτώτῳ, ἐφ’ ἧς ἐστι τὸ σημεῖον. ἔστωσαν τὰ αὐτὰ ἔσται τῇ ἀσυμπτώτῳ, ἔστωσαν τὰ αὐτὰ τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν, τὸ δὲ Δ σημεῖον ἐπὶ μιᾶς τῶν ἀσυμπτώτων, καὶ ἤχθω διὰ τοῦ Ζ παράλληλος, καὶ εἰ δυνατόν, μὴ πιπτέτω ἐπὶ τὸ Γ, ἀλλ’ ἐπὶ τὸ Η. ἔσται δή, ὡς ἡ ΑΔ πρὸς ΔΒ, ἡ ΑΗ πρὸς ΗΒ· ὅπερ ἄτοπον. ἡ ἄρα ἀπὸ τοῦ Ζ παρὰ τὴν ἀσύμπτωτον ἐπὶ τὸ Γ πίπτει.
