οἱ δὲ φάμενοι μηδ’ ὅλως εἶναι κενόν, ὡς οἱ ἐκ τοῦ Περιπάτου, τὸ ὅλον καὶ τὸ πᾶν τῶν σωμάτων μόνον, οὐχὶ δὲ καὶ τοῦ κενοῦ ἐπικατηγοροῦσιν.

Those who say that there is no void at all, such as the Peripatetics, predicate “the whole” and “the all” only of bodies, not also of the void.

Ceux qui affirment que le vide n’existe absolument pas, comme les Péripatéticiens, attribuent les termes « tout » et « ensemble » aux seuls corps, et non aussi au vide.
