ἀγνοοῦσι δὴ οἱ τὰ τοιαῦτα λέγοντες, ὅτι ἄλλ’ ἐστὶ τὰ παρῳχημένα καὶ τὰ μέλλοντα, τὸ μέντοι σημεῖον καὶ σημειωτὸν κἀν τούτοις παρὸν παρόντος ἐστίν. ἔν τε γὰρ τῷ προτέρῳ τῷ “ εἰ οὐλὴν ἔχει οὗτος, ἕλκος ἔσχηκεν οὗτος” τὸ μὲν ἕλκος γέγονεν ἤδη καὶ παρῴχηκεν, τὸ δὲ ἕλκος ἐσχηκέναι τοῦτον, ἀξίωμα καθεστηκός, ἐνέστηκεν, περὶ γεγονότος τινὸς λεγόμενον· ἔν τε τῷ “ εἰ καρδίαν τέτρωται οὗτος, ἀποθανεῖται οὗτος” ὁ μὲν θάνατος μέλλει, τὸ δὲ ἀποθανεῖσθαι τοῦτον ἀξίωμα ἐνέστηκεν, περὶ μέλλοντος λεγόμενον, παρὸ καὶ νῦν ἐστιν ἀληθές.
