εἰ δὲ καὶ τὰ πέρατα τῶν περάτων ἅπτεται καὶ τὰ πεπερατωμένα τῶν πεπερατωμένων, ἐπισυνθήσομεν τὰς ἀπορίας· μὲν γὰρ τὰ πέρατα ἀλλήλων ἅπτεται, τὰ πεπερατωμένα οὐχ ἅψεται ἀλλήλων, ᾗ δὲ τὰ πεπερατω- μένα, ἐκτὸς ἔσται τὰ σώματα τῶν οἰκείων περάτων, ἐπεὶ πέρας μέν ἐστιν ἡ ἐπιφάνεια, πεπερασμένον δὲ τὸ σῶμα. τά τε πέρατα σώματά ἐστιν ἢ ἀσώματα.

But if both the boundaries touch the boundaries and the bounded things the bounded things, we shall combine the difficulties. Insofar as the boundaries touch one another, the bounded things will not touch one another; insofar as the bounded things touch, the bodies will lie outside their own boundaries, since the surface is the boundary and the body the bounded thing. Moreover, the boundaries are either bodies or incorporeal.

Si les limites touchent les limites et les choses limitées les choses limitées, nous combinerons les difficultés: en tant que les limites se touchent, les choses limitées ne se toucheront pas; en tant que les choses limitées se touchent, les corps seront hors de leurs propres limites, puisque la surface est la limite et le corps la chose limitée. En outre, les limites sont soit corporelles, soit incorporelles.
