ἐπὶ δὲ τοῦ παντὸς γενήσεται τοὐναντίον· τὸ μὲν γὰρ σπέρμα καὶ μεῖζον ἔσται καὶ πλείονα τόπον ἐφέξει, τὸ δ’ ἀποτέλεσμα βραχύτερον καὶ ἐν ἐλάττονι φανεῖται τόπῳ, καὶ ὁ κόσμος ἐκ σπέρματος συνιστάμενος οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ κατ’ ὀλίγον ἐπιδώσει πρὸς αὔξησιν, ἀλλ’ ἔμπαλιν ἐξ ὄγκου μείζονος εἰς ἐλάττονα συναιρεθήσεται.
