διχῶς οὖν τοῦ ἴσου προσαγορευομένου, ὅταν οἱ γεωμέτραι τὴν εὐθεῖαν γραμμὴν ὑπογράφοντες φῶσιν ‘εὐθεῖά ἐστι γραμμὴ ἡ ἐξ ἴσου τοῖς ἑαυτῆς μέρεσι κειμένη’, ἤτοι τὸ κατὰ τὸ πρῶ- τον σημαινόμενον λαμβάνουσιν ἴσον ἢ τὸ κατὰ τὸ δεύτε- ρον. ἀλλʼ εἰ μὲν τὸ κατὰ τὸ πρῶτον, τελέως εἰσὶν ἀνόη- τοι οὐδένα γὰρ ἔχει νοῦν τὸ εὐθεῖαν εἶναι γραμμὴν τὴν ἰσομεγέθη τοῖς ἑαυτῆς μέρεσι καὶ μήτε ὑπερέχουσαν ταῦ- τα μήτε ὑπερεχομένην ὑπὸ τούτων.
