εἰ δὲ σῶμά ἐστιν ὁ λόγος, ἐπεὶ καὶ περὶ τῶν σωμάτων διαπεφώνηται, πότερον καταλαμβάνεται ἢ οὔ, διὰ τὴν λεγομένην συνεχῆ ῥύσιν αὐτῶν, ὧς μηδὲ τὴν ‘τόδε’ δεῖξιν ἐπιδέχεσθαι, μηδὲ εἶναι νομίζεσθαι, παρὸ καὶ ὁ Πλάτων’ (Theaet. p. 152 E) γινόμενα μέν, ὄντα δὲ οὐδέποτε καλεῖ τὰ σώματα, ἀπορῶ πῶς ἐπικριθήσεται ἡ περὶ τοῦ ἀσωμάτου διαφωνία, μήτε σώματι μήτε ἀσωμάτῳ ταύτην ὁρῶν ἐπικρίνεσθαι δυναμένην διὰ τἀς μικρῷ πρόσθεν εἰρημένας ἀτοπίας. οὐκοῦν οὐδὲ λόγῳ δυνατόν ἐστι καταλαμβάνειν τὰ ἀσώματα.
