4 ἀδυνάτου γὰρ ὄντος ὁρισθῆναι τὸ τῆς τομῆς σημεῖον, ὡς τὸ Φ τοῦ τρίτου λόγου, μὴ πρότερον ὑποτεθέντος τοῦ λόγου ὃν ἔχει ἡ ΚΘ πρὸς τὴν ΘΡ, τουτέστιν τοῦ ὃν ἔχει ἡ ΒΕ πρὸς τὴν ΕΑ, οὐ μόνον αὐτὸς πειρᾶται ζητεῖν τὸ ἀδύνατον, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἡμᾶς ἀξιοῖ, ὑποτεθέντος μέντοι τοῦ λύγου τοῦ ὃν ἔχει ἡ ΚΘ πρὸς τὴν ΘΡ, τουτέστιν ἡ ΒΕ πρὸς τὴν ΕΑ, καὶ δοθείσης τῆς ΚΘ, δέδοται ἡ ἐλάσσων εὐθεῖα τοῦ τρίτου λύγου. καὶ δοθέν ἐστιν τὸ Θ σημεῖον· δοθὲν ἄρα καὶ τὸ ἕτερον πέρας τῆς ἐλαχίστης. καὶ ὅτι ἤτοι μεταξὺ πίπτει τῶν Θ Ρ ἢ μεταξὺ τῶν Ρ Τ δῆλόν ἐστιν.
