ναί, 24a φασίν, ἀλλὰ σύν τούτῳ ἀντικείμενά ἐστι, σὺν τῷ τὴν ἀπόφασιν προτετάχθαι τοῦ ἑτέρου· τότε γὰρ καὶ κυριεύει τοῦ ὅλου ἀξιώματος, ἐπὶ δὲ τοῦ ‘‘ἡμέρα ἔστιν καὶ οὐχὶ φῶς ἔστιν”, μέρος οὖσα τοῦ παντός, οὐ κυριεύει πρὸς τὸ ἀποφατικὸν ποιῆσαι τὸ πᾶν. ἐχρῆν οὖν, ἐροῦμεν, προσκεῖσθαι τῇ ἐννοίᾳ τῶν ἀντικειμένων ὅτι τότε ἀντικείμενά ἐστιν, ὅταν μὴ ψιλῶς τὸ ἕτερον τοῦ ἑτέρου ἀποφάσει πλεονάζῃ, ἀλλ’ ὅταν ἡ ἀπόφασις προτάττηται τοῦ ἀξιώματος.
