ἀλλ’ εἰ μὲν κατάληψις μία τὸν ἄτεχνον τεχνίτην ἀπεργάζεται, πρῶτον μὲν ἐνέσται λέγειν, ὅτι οὔκ ἐστι σύστημα ἐκ καταλήψεων ἡ τέχνη · ὁ γὰρ μηδὲν ὅλως εἰδώς, εἰ θεώρημα διδαχθείη τέχνης, τεχνίτης ἂν οὕτω λέγοιτο εἶναι. εἶτα καὶ ἐὰν λέγῃ τις, ὧς ὁ τινὰ θεωρήματα τέχνης ἀνειληφὼς καὶ προσδεόμενος ἑνὸς ἔτι καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ὢν ἄτεχνος, ἂν τὸ ‘ὲν ἐκεῖνο προσλάβῃ, τεχνίτης ἐξ ἀτέχνου ἀποτελεῖται ἐκ καταλήψεως μιᾶς, ἀποκληρωτικὸν λέξει.
