Ἀτὰρ καὶ ἡ διὰ τοῦ κλιμακίου ἑτέρη τις τοιαύτη καὶ ἔτι βελτίων, ὅτι ἀσφαλεστέρως ἂν τὸ σῶμα τὸ μὲν τῇ ἀντισηκωθείη μετεωρισθέν. περὶ γὰρ τὸ ὑπεροειδὲς ὦμος, εἰ καὶ κατεπεπείγει, περισφάλλεσθαι τὸ σῶμα κίνδυνος ἢ τῇ ἢ τῇ. Πέμπτος οὗτος αὐτῷ τρόπος ἐμβολῆς ἐστι. διὰ τί δὲ βελτίων ἐστὶ τοῦ προειρημένου τοῦ τετάρτου περὶ τὸ ὑπεροειδὲς, αὐτὸς ἐξηγεῖται σαφέστατα.
