δυοῖν οὖν ἀμφορέων παραβληθέντων ἀλλή- λοις ἤτοι τὸ ὄστρακον τοῦ ὀστράκου ἅψεται ἢ ὁ οἶνος τοῦ οἴνου ἢ καὶ τὸ ὄστρακον τοῦ ὀστράκου καὶ ὁ οἶνος τοῦ οἴνου. καὶ εἰ μὲν τὰ πέρατα τῶν περάτων ἅπτεται, τὰ πεπερατωμένα ἀλλήλων οὐχ ἅψεται, τουτέστι τὰ σώ- ματα, ὅπερ ἧν ἀπεμφαῖνον. εἰ δὲ τὰ πεπερατωμένα μὲν ἀλλήλων ἅψεται, τουτέστι τὰ σώματα, τὰ πέρατα δὲ ἀλ- λήλων οὐχ ἅψεται, ἐκτὸς ἔσται τὰ σώματα τῶν οἰκείων περάτων.
