Ἐὰν κώνου τομὴ ἤ κύκλου περιφέρεια μιᾶς τῶν ἀντικειμένων ἐφάπτηται τοῖς κοίλοις αὐτῆς, τῇ ἑτέρᾳ τῶν ἀντικειμένων οὐ συμπεσεῖται. ἔστωσαν ἀντικείμεναι αἱ Α, Β, καὶ τῆς Α τομῆς ἐφαπτέσθω ἡ ΓΑΔ. λέγω, ὅτι ἡ ΓΑΔ τῇ Β οὐ συμπεσεῖται. ἤχθω ἀπὸ τοῦ Α ἐφαπτομένη ἡ ΕΑΖ. ἑκατέρας δὴ τῶν γραμμῶν ἐπιψαύει κατὰ τὸ Α· ὥστε οὐ συμπεσεῖται τῇ Β. ὥστε οὐδὲ ἡ ΓΑΔ.
