Εἰλήφθω δὴ τὸ Δ σημεῖον ἐν τῇ ἐφεξῆς γωνίᾳ τῆς ὑπὸ τῶν ἀσυμπτώτων περιεχομένης, καὶ διήχθωσαν αἱ εὐθεῖαι τέμνουσαι τὰς τομάς, καὶ διῃρήσθωσαν, ὡς εἴρηται. λέγω, ὅτι ἡ διὰ τῶν Κ, Η ἐκβαλλομένη συμπεσεῖται ἑκατέρᾳ τῶν ἀντικειμένων, καὶ αἱ ἀπὸ τῶν συμπτώσεων ἐπὶ τὸ Δ ἐφάψονται τῶν τομῶν. ἤχθωσαν γὰρ ἀπὸ τοῦ Δ ἐφαπτόμεναι ἑκατέρας τῶν τομῶν αἱ ΔΕ, ΔΖ· ἡ ἄρα διὰ τῶν Ε, Ζ διὰ τῶν Κ, Η ἐλεύσεται. εἰ γὰρ μή, ἤτοι διὰ τοῦ ἑτέρου αὐτῶν ἥξει ἢ δι’ οὐδετέρου, καὶ πάλιν ὁμοίως συναχθήσεται τὸ ἄτοπον.
