Ἔτι, φασί, τὸ σημεῖον παρὸν παρόντος εἶναι δεῖ σημεῖον. ἔνιοι γὰρ ἐξαπατώμενοι καὶ παρὸν παρῳχημένου θέλουσιν εἶναι σημεῖον, ὧς ἐπὶ τοῦ “ εἰ οὐλὴν ἔχει οὗτος, ἕλκος ἔσχηκεν οὗτος”· τὸ μὲν γὰρ ‘‘οὐλὴν ἔχει” παρόν ἐστι, φαίνεται γάρ, τὸ δὲ ἕλκος ἐσχηκέναι παρῳχημένον, οὐκέτι γὰρ ἔστιν ἕλκος· καὶ παρὸν μέλλοντος, ὧς τὸ περιεχόμε- νον τῷ τοιούτῳ συνημμένῳ “ εἰ καρδίαν τέτρωται οὗτος, ἀποθανεῖται οὗτος”· τὸ μὲν γὰρ τραῦμα τῆς καρδίας εἶναί φασιν ἤδη, τὸν δὲ θάνατον μέλλειν.
