εἶτα οὐδὲ ἐν τοῖς καλουμένοις σώμασιν ὑφέστηκεν. καὶ τοῦτο διὰ πλειόνων μέν ἐστιν ὑπομιμνῄσκειν, ἀρκέσει δὲ νῦν τὰ ἐκ τῆς ἁφῆς ἀπορούμενα λέγειν. εἰ γὰρ ἅπτεται ἀλλήλων τὰ παρατιθέμενα σώματα, τοῖς πέρασιν αὐτῶν, οἷον ταῖς ἐπιφανείαις, ψαύει ἀλλήλων. αἱ οὖν ἐπιφάνειαι ὅλαι μὲν δι’ ὅλων ἀλλήλαις οὐχ ἑνωθήσονται κατὰ τὴν ἁφήν, ἐπεὶ σύγχυσις ἔσται ἡ ἁφὴ καὶ ὁ χωρισμὸς τῶν ἁπτομένων διασπασμός· ὅπερ οὐ θεωρεῖται.
