Ἐὰν ὑπερβολὴ μιᾶς τῶν ἀντικειμένων ἐπιψαύῃ ἀντεστραμμένα τὰ κυρτὰ ἔχουσα, ἡ ἀντικειμένη αὐτῇ τῇ ἑτέρᾳ τῶν ἀντικειμένων οὐ συμπεσεῖται. ἔστωσαν ἀντικείμεναι αἱ Α, Β, καὶ τῆς Α τομῆς ἐφαπτέσθω ὑπερβολή τις ἡ ΑΔ κατὰ τὸ Α, ἀντικειμένη δὲ τῆς ΑΔ ἔστω ἡ Ζ. λέγω, ὅτι ἡ Ζ τῇ Β οὐ συμπεσεῖται. ἤχθω ἀπὸ τοῦ Α ἐφαπτομένη τῶν τομῶν ἡ ΑΓ· ἡ ἄρα ΑΓ διὰ μὲν τὴν ΑΔ οὐ συμπεσεῖται τῇ Ζ, διὰ δὲ τὴν Α οὐ συμπεσεῖται τῇ Β. ὥστε ἡ ΑΓ μεταξὺ πεσεῖται τῶν Β, Ζ τομῶν. καὶ φανερόν, ὅτι ἡ Β τῇ Ζ οὐ συμπεσεῖται.
