Μὴ λανθανέτω δ᾿ ἡμᾶς ὅτι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ συλλογισμῷ οὐχ ἅπαντα τὰ συμπεράσματα δι᾿ ἑνὸς σχήματός εἰσιν, ἀλλὰ τὸ μὲν διὰ τούτου τὸ δὲ δι᾿ ἄλλου. Δῆλον οὖν ὅτι καὶ τὰς ἀναλύσεις οὕτω ποιητέον. Ἐπεὶ δ᾿ οὐ πᾶν πρόβλημα ἐν ἅπαντι σχήματι ἀλλ᾿ ἐν ἑκάστῳ τεταγμένα, φανερὸν ἐκ τοῦ συμπεράσματος ἐν ᾧ σχήματι ζητητέον. Τούς τε πρὸς ὁρισμὸν τῶν λόγων, ὅσοι πρὸς ἕν τι τυγχάνουσι διειλεγμένοι τῶν ἐν τῷ ὅρῳ, πρὸς ὃ διείλεκται, θετέον ὅρον, καὶ οὐ τὸν ἅπαντα λόγον· ἧττον γὰρ συμβήσεται ταράττεσθαι διὰ τὸ μῆκος, οἷον εἰ τὸ ὕδωρ ἔδειξεν ἅτι ὑγρὸν ποτόν, τὸ ποτὸν καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ ὅρους θετέον.
