Ἐν τοῖς κοίλοις ἐνόπτροις ἕκαστον τῶν ὁρωμένων κατὰ τὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὁρωμένου εἰς τὸ κέντρον τῆς σφαίρας ἀγομένην εὐθεῖαν ὁρᾶται. ἔστω κοῖλον ἔνοπτρον τὸ Γ∠, ὄψις δὲ ἀνακλωμένη ἡ ΒΓ ἐπὶ τὸ Α ὁρώμενον, τῆς δὲ σφαίρας κέντρον ἔστω τὸ Ε, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Α ἐπὶ τὸ Ε ἐπεζεύχθω εὐθεῖα καὶ ἐκβεβλήσθω. οὐκοῦν ἐπεὶ ὑπέκειτο ἐν τοῖς φαινομένοις, ὅτι καταληφθέντος τοῦ τόπου τοῦ ∠ τὸ Α οὐχ ὁρᾶται, ὥστε φαίνεται ἐπʼ εὐθείας τῇ ΑΕ, ὀφθήσεται ἄρα κατὰ τὴν συμβολὴν τῆς Α∠ εὐθείας καὶ τῆς ΒΓ ὄψεως κατὰ τὸ Ζ.
