Ἐν αὐτῷδὴτοίνυν ἐν ᾦ ἐστίν, ἀδύνατον φέρεσθαι τὸ μὴ κρατούμενον. Ἕτι δὲ ἦττον ἐν τῷ ἐκτός· θάττων γὰρ ἡ φορὰ τοῦ ἐκτὸς κύκλου. Λείπεται δὲ εἰς τὸν ἐντὸς τὸ μὴ κρατούμενον μεθίστασθαι. Ἀεὶ δὲ ἕκαστον ἐπιδίδωσιν εἰς τὸ μὴ κρατεῖσθαι, Ἐπεὶδὲ πέρας τοῦ μὴ κινεῖσθαι ποιεῖ τὸεἰς μέσον ἐλθεῖν, μένει δὲ τὸ κέντρον μόνον, ἅπαντα ἀνάγκη εἰς τοῦτο δὴ ἀθροίζεσθαι.
