ἔτι καὶ τοῦτο θεάσασθαι ἄξιον. ὥσπερ γὰρ, ἐπεὶ ὁ αὐτός ἐστιν Ἀλέξανδρος καὶ Πάρις, οὐκ ἐνδέχεται τὸ μὲν ‘’Αλέξανδος περιπατεῖ’ ἀληθὲς εἶναι, τὸ δὲ ‘πάρις περιπατεῖ’ ψεῦδος, οὕτως εἰ τὸ αὐτό ἐστι τὸ ἄνθρωπον εἶναι Θέωνι καὶ Δίωνι, εἰς σύνταξιν ἀξιώματος ἀγομένη ἡ ‘ἂνθρωπος’ προσηγορία ἢ ἀληθὲς ἢ ψεῦδος ἐπ’ ἀμφοτέρων ποιήσει τὸ ἀξίωμα. οὐ θεωρεῖται δὲ τοῦτο· τοῦ μὲν γὰρ Δίωνος καθημένου Θέωνος δὲ περιπατοῦντος τὸ ‘ἂνθρωπος περιπατεῖ’ ἐφ’ οὗ μὲν λεγόμενον ἀληθές ἐστιν, ἐφ’ οὗ δὲ ψεῦδος. οὐκ ἄρα κοινή ἐστιν ἀμφοτέρων ἡ ‘ἂνθρωπος’ προσηγορία, οὐδὲ ἡ αὐτὴ ἀμφοῖν, ἀλλ’ εἰ ἄρα, ἰδία ἑκατέρου.
