Ἐὰν δὲ τὸ ληφθὲν σημεῖον ἐπί τινος ᾖ τῶν ἀσυμπτώτων, καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ γένηται τὰ αὐτά, ἡ διὰ τῶν περάτων τῶν ὑπεροχῶν ἀγομένη εὐθεῖα παράλληλος ἔσται τῇ ἀσυμπτώτῳ, ἐφ’ ἧς ἐστι τὸ σημεῖον, καὶ ἡ ἀπὸ τοῦ σημείου ἐπὶ τὴν σύμπτωσιν τῆς τομῆς καὶ τῆς διὰ τῶν περάτων ἠγμένης εὐθείας ἐφάψεται τῆς τομῆς. ἔστωσαν ἀντικείμεναι αἱ Α, Β, καὶ τὸ Δ σημεῖον ἔστω ἐπὶ μιᾶς τῶν ἀσυμπτώτων, καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τὰ αὐτὰ γινέσθω. λέγω, ὅτι ἡ διὰ τῶν Κ, Η συμπεσεῖται τῇ τομῇ, καὶ ἡ ἀπὸ τῆς συμπτώσεως ἐπὶ τὸ Δ ἐφάψεται τῆς τομῆς. ἤχθω ἀπὸ τοῦ Δ ἐφαπτομένη ἡ ΔΖ, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ζ παρὰ τὴν ἀσύμπτωτον, ἐφ’ ἧς ἐστι τὸ Δ, ἤχθω εὐθεῖα. ἥξει δὴ διὰ τῶν Κ, Η. εἰ γὰρ μή, ἢ διὰ τοῦ ἑτέρου αὐτῶν ἥξει ἢ δι’ οὐδετέρου, καὶ τὰ αὐτὰ ἄτοπα συμβήσεται τοῖς πρότερον.
