Ἐν τοῖς κυρτοῖς ἐνόπτροις ἕκαστον τῶν ὁρωμένων κατὰ τὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὁρωμένου εἰς τὸ κέντρον τῆς σφαίρας ἀγομένην εὐθεῖαν ὁρᾶται. ἔστω κυρτὸν ἔνοπτρον τὸ Γ∠, ὄμμα δὲ τὸ Β, ὄψις δὲ ἡ Β∠ ἀνακλωμένη ἐπὶ τὸ Α, καὶ ὁράσθω τὸ Α, κέντρον δὲ τῆς σφαίρας ἔστω τὸ Ζ, καὶ ἐπεζεύχθω ἡ ΑΖ, καὶ ἐκβεβλήσθω ἡ Β∠ ὄψις ἐπὶ τὸ Ε. οὐκοῦν ἐπεὶ ὑπέκειτο ἐν τοῖς φαινομένοις, ὅτι καταληφθέντος τοῦ Γ τὸ Α οὐχ ὁρᾶται, ὀφθήσεται ἄρα ἐπʼ εὐθείας τῇ ΑΓ κατὰ τὴν σύμβασιν τῆς Β∠ ὄψεως καὶ τῆς ΑΓ ἐπὶ τοῦ Ε, καθάπερ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐπιπέδοις.
