Ἀλλ᾿ ἵνα μὴ δοκῶμεν σοφιστικοί τινες εἶναι καὶ τὴν σύμπασαν τῆς ἀντιρρήσεως κατασκευὴν ἐν μόνας καταν- αλίσκειν ταῖς τῆς γεωμετρίας ἀρχαῖς, φέρε μετελθόντες, ὡς πρότερον (§ 93) ὑπεσχόμεθα, καὶ τὰ μετὰ τὰς ἀρχὰς αὐτῶν θεωρήματα ἐπισκεψώμεθα.

But lest we seem to be sophists who expend the entire construction of the refutation solely upon the principles of geometry, let us proceed, as we promised earlier (§ 93), and examine the theorems that follow their principles.

Mais afin de ne pas paraître sophistiques et de ne pas épuiser toute la construction de notre réfutation sur les seuls principes de la géométrie, passons, comme nous l’avons promis plus haut (§ 93), à l’examen des théorèmes qui suivent leurs principes.
