ὃ δέ ἐστιν ἀναγκαῖον ἐπὶ τοῦ παρόντος, ὑποδεικτέον ὅτι τῶν λεγομένων πρὸς τὰ μαθήματα τὰ μὲν καθολικῶς λέγεται πρὸς πάντα τὰ μαθήματα, τὰ δὲ ὡς πρὸς ἕκαστα, καὶ καθολικώτερον μέν τὸ περὶ τοῦ μηδὲν εἶναι μάθημα, ἰδιαίτερον δέ πρὸς μέν γραμματικούς, εἰ τύχοι, περὶ τῶν τῆς λέξεως στοι | χείων, πρὸς δέ γεωμέτρας περὶ τοῦ μὴ δεῖν ἐξ ὑπσθέσεως λαμ- βάνειν τὰς ἀρχάς, πρὸς δέ μουσικοὺς περὶ τοῦ μηδὲν εἶναι φωνὴν μηδὲ χρόνον. ἴδωμεν δὲ τάξει πρῶτον τὴν καθολικωτέραν ἀντίρρησιν. Εἰ ἔστι μάθημαι
