συνδραμόντων οὖν πάντων τούτων, τοῦ τε συνακτικὸν εἶναι τὸν λόγον καὶ ἀληθῆ καὶ ἀδήλου παραστατικόν, ὑφίσταται ἡ ἀπόδειξις. ἔνθεν καὶ οὕτως αὐτὴν ὑπογράφουσιν (Stoic. fr.II 266 Αrn.)· “ ἀπόδειξίς ἐστι λόγος ὁμολογουμένων λημμάτων κατὰ συναγωγὴν ἐπιφορὰν ἐκκαλύπτων ἄδηλον”, οἶον ὁ τοιοῦτος “ εἰ ἔστι κίνησις, ἔστι κενόν· ἀλλά μὴν ἔστι κίνησις· ἔστιν ἄρα κενόν”. τὸ γὰρ εἶναι κενὸν ἄδηλόν τ’ ἐστί, καὶ δι’ ἀληθῶν δοκεῖ, τοῦ τε “ εἰ ἔστι κίνησις, ἔστικενόν” καὶ τοῦ ‘‘ἔστι δὲ κίνησις’’, κατὰ συναγωγὴν ἐκκαλύπτεσθαι.
