εἰ δὲ ἀσώματόν ἐστι τὸ πέρας, ἐπεὶ τὸ ἀσώματον οὐδενὸς δύναται θιγεῖν οὐδὲ θιχθῆναι, τὰ πέρατα οὐχ ἅψεται ἀλ- λήλων, τούτων δὲ μὴ ἁπτομένων οὐδὲ τὰ πεπερατωμένα ἅψεται ἀλλήλων. κἂν δῶμεν οὖν εἶναι μῆκος ἀπλατὲς τὴν γραμμήν, ὁ περὶ τῆς ἐπιφανείας λόγος ἄπορός ἐστιν. οἷς, κἂν ἡμεῖς μὴ λέγωμεν, ἀπόροις οὖσι συναναιρεῖται καὶ τὸ στερεὸν σῶμα, ἐκ τούτων σύνθετον καθεστώς.
