πρὸς τούτῳ δὲ κἀκεῖνό ἐστιν ὅτι παρʼ οἷς ἂν ἕν τι κινηθῇ, παρʼ ἐκείνοις κεκίνηται πάντα ὁμοίως καὶ τῶν παραπλησίων βέβαιον οὐθέν ἐστιν. οἱ γὰρ τὴν αἰτίαν παραβάντες, καθʼ ἣν οὐκ ἂν ἐδόκει τι συμβῆναι, καὶ ταύτην παρʼ οὐδὲν ἡγησάμενοι, πάντα λελύκασιν ἃ τὴν αὐτὴν εἶχε πρόφασιν τοῦ μένειν βέβαια. οἷον εἴ τις μίαν λύσαι τῶν τιμωριῶν ἡντιναοῦν, οὐδὲ τῶν ἄλλων οὐδεμίαν ἰσχυρὰν καταλέλοιπεν.
