ἀλλ’ ὥσπερ ἐν τῷ βίῳ, φασί, τὸ κατὰ μὲν τὰ πλεῖστα μέρη ὑγιὲς ἱμάτιον κατ’ ὀλίγον δὲ διερρωγὸς οὐκ ἀπὸ τῶν πλείστων καὶ ὑγιῶν μερῶν ὑγιὲς εἶναι λέγομεν ἀλλ’ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὀλίγου καὶ διερρωγότος διερρωγός, οὕτω καὶ τὸ συμπεπλεγμένον, κἂν ‘ὲν μόνον ἔχῃ ψεῦδος πλείονα δὲ ἀληθῆ, λεχθήσεται τὸ ὅλον ἀπὸ τοῦ ἑνὸς ψεῦδος.
