ἀπὸ μὲν οὖν ἀληθοῦς ἀρχόμενον ἐπ’ ἀληθὲς λήγει τὸ “ εἰ εἰσὶ θεοί, προνοίᾳ θεῶν διοικεῖται ὁ κόσμος”, ἀπὸ ψεύδους δὲ ἐπὶ ψεῦδος τὸ “ εἰ πέταται ἡ γῆ, πτέρυγας ἔχει ἡ γῆ” , ἀπὸ ψεύδους δὲ <ἐπ᾿> ἀληθὲς “ εἰ πέταται ἡ γῆ, ἔστιν ἡ γῆ” , ἀπὸ δὲ ἀληθοῦς ἐπὶ ψεῦδος τὸ “ εἰ κινεῖται οὗτος, περιπατεῖ οὗτος”, μὴ περιπατοῦντος μὲν αὐτοῦ, κινουμένου δέ.
