Διὰ τί φέρεταί τι οὐ τὴν αὐτοῦ φοράν, μὴ ἀκολουθοῦντος καὶ ὠθοῦντος τοῦ ἀφέντος; Ἤ δῆλον ὅτι ἐποίησε τοιοῦτον τὸ πρῶτον ὡς θάτερον ὤθεῖν, καὶ τοῦθ’ ἕτερον· παύεται δέ, ὅταν μηκέτι δύνηται ποιεῖν τὸ προωθοῦν τὸ φερόμενον ὥστε ὠθεῖν, καὶ ὅταν τὸ τοῦ φερομένου βάρος ῥέπῃ μᾶλλον τῆς εἰς τὸ πρόσθεν δυνάμεως τοῦ ὠθοῦντος.
