εἰ δὲ συνελθόντων τούτων τότε νοεῖται ἡ σύστασις τοῦ σώματος, ἤτοι συνελθόντων αὐτῶν μένει ἡ ἀρχῆθεν φύοις τοῦ 〈μὲν〉 μήκους ὡς μήκους, τοῦ δὲ πλά- τους ὡς πλάτους, τοῦ δὲ βάθους ὡς βάθους, ἢ μετα- βέβληκεν εἰς τὴν σωματότητα. καὶ εἰ μὲν μένει ἡ ἀρχῆ- θεν αὐτῶν φύσις, ἐπεὶ ἀσώματά ἐστιν, οὐδὲ διάφορον ποιήσει σῶμα, ἀλλὰ καὶ μετὰ τὴν σύνοδον ἀσώματα με- νεῖ, τὴν φύσιν ὄντα ἀσώματα.
