πρὸς τούτοις λέγεται, ὅτι ὅτε ἔπεισι τῷ κενῷ τὸ σῶμα καὶ γίνεται τόπος, ἤτοι ὑπομένει τὸ κενὸν ἢ ὑποχωρεῖ ἢ φθείρεται. ἀλλ’ εἰ μὲν ὑπομένει, τὸ αὐτὸ ἔσται καὶ πλῆρες καὶ κενόν· εἰ δὲ ὑποχωρεῖ κινούμενον μεταβατικῶς ἢ φθείρεται μεταβάλλον, σῶμα ἔσται τὸ κενόν· σώματος γὰρ ἴδιά ἐστι ταῦτα τὰ πάθη. ἄτοπον δὲ τὸ αὐτὸ λέγειν κενὸν καὶ πλῆρες, ἢ ὅτι σῶμά ἐστι τὸ κενόν. ἄτοπον ἄρα τὸ λέγειν οἷόν τε εἷναι τὸ κενὸν ὑπὸ σώματος κατασχεθῆναι καὶ γενέσθαι τόπον.
