ὁ δὲ αὐτὸς λόγος καὶ ἐπειδὰν φῶσι τὸν κύκλον εἰς ἴσα τέμνειν. εἰ γὰρ ὁ κύκλος εἰς ἴσα τέμνεται, πάντως ἐπεὶ μεσαίτατον ἔχει τὸ κέντρον, ὃ καὶ αὐτό ἐστι σημεῖον, ἤτοι τῷδε τῷ τμήματι ἢ τῷδε [τινι] προσμερισθήσεται, ἢ καὶ αὐτὸ δίχα τμηθήσεται. ἀλλὰ τὸ μὲν τῷδε ἢ τῷδε προσμερισθῆναι ἄνισον τὴν διχοτόμησιν ποιεῖ, τὸ δὲ καὶ αὐτὸ διχοτομεῖσθαι μαχόμενόν ἐστι τῷ ἀδιάστατον καὶ ἀμερές ὑπάρχειν τὸ σημεῖον.
