καὶ ὅτι μὲν τὸ σῶμα οὐ καταλαμβάνεται, δῆλον ἐντεῦθεν· τὰ συμβεβηκότα τινὶ ἕτερά ἐστιν ἐκείνου ᾧ συμβέβηκεν. ὅταν οὖν χρῶμα ἤ τι παραπλήσιον ἡμῖν ὑποπίπτῃ τὰ συμβεβηκότα τῷ σώματι εἰκὸς ἡμῖν ὑποπίπτειν, ἀλλ’ οὐκ αὐτὸ τὸ σῶμα. τό γέ τοι σῶμα τριχῇ διαστατὸν εἷναι λέγουσιν· ὀφείλομεν οὖν τὸ μῆκος καὶ τὸ πλάτος καὶ τὸ βάθος καταλαμβάνειν, ἴνα τὸ σῶμα καταλάβωμεν. εἰ γὰρ τοῦτο ἡμῖν ὑπέπιπτεν, ἐγινώσκομεν ἂν καὶ τὰ ὑπάργυρα χρυσία. οὐδὲ τὸ σῶμα ἄρα.
