Τοῦ ὄμματος ἔγγιον τοῦ ὁρωμένου προσιόντος δόξει τὸ ὁρώμενον ηὐξῆσθαι. ὁράσθω γὰρ τὸ ΒΓ τοῦ ὄμματος ἐπὶ τὸ Ζ κειμένου ὑπὸ τῶν ΖΒ, ΖΓ ἀκτίνων, καὶ μετακείσθω τὸ ὄμμα ἔγγιον τοῦ ΒΓ καὶ ἔστω ἐπὶ τοῦ ∠, καὶ ὁράσθω τὸ αὐτὸ ὑπὸ τῶν ∠Β, ΔΓ ἀκτίνων. οὐκοῦν μείζων ἡ ∠ γωνία τῆς Ζ γωνίας· τὰ δὲ ὑπὸ μείζονος γωνίας ὁρώμενα μείζονα φαίνεται. δόξει ἄρα ηὐξῆσθαι τὸ ΒΓ τοῦ ὄμματος ἐπὶ τοῦ ∠ ὄντος ἤπερ ἐπὶ τοῦ Ζ.
