ἐπεὶ οὖν ἄδηλός ἐστιν ἡ ἀπόδειξις διὰ τὴν διαφωνίαν τὴν περὶ αὐτῆς τὰ γὰρ διάφωνα, καθὸ διαπεφώνηται, ἄδηλά ἐστιν), οὐκ ἔστιν ἐξ ἑαυτῆς προῦπτος ἀλλ’ ἐξ ἀποδείξεως ὀφείλει ἡμῖν συνίστασθαι. ἡ οὖν ἀπόδειξις δι’ ἧς κατασκευάζεται ἡ ἀπόδειξις, ὁμολογουμένη μὲν καὶ προῦπτος οὐκ ἔσται ζητοῦμεν γὰρ νῦν εἰ ἔστιν ἀπόδειξις ὅλως), διαφωνουμένη δὲ καὶ ἄδηλος οὖσα δεήσεται ἀποδείξεως ἄλλης, κἀκείνη ἄλλης, καὶ μέχρις ἀπείρου. ἀδύνατον δὲ ἄπειρα ἀποδεῖξαι· ἀδύνατον ἄρα παραστῆσαι ὅτι ἔστιν ἀπόδειξις.
