εἰ δὲ τὸ ἄθροισμα τῶν τοῦ λόγου μερῶν νοεῖται λόγος, τῷ μηδὲν εἶναι τὸν ἀθροισμὸν παρὰ τὰ ἠθροισμένα καθάπερ καὶ τὸ διάστημα παρὰ τὰ διεστηκότα, οὐδὲν ὑπάρξει ὁ λόγος οὗ νοηθήσεταί τινα μέρη. μηδενὸς δέ ὄντος ὅλου λόγου οὐδέ μέρη τινὰ τούτου γενήσεται. ὥσπερ οὖν εἰ μηδὲν ἔστιν ἀριστερόν, οὐδέ δεξιὸν ἔστιν, οὕτως εἰ μὴ ἔστι τι ὅλον λόγος, οὐδέ τὰ μέρη ὑπάρξει.
