ἢ ἄρχεται ἀπὸ ψεύδους καὶ λήγει ἐπὶ ψεῦδος, οἷον ῾εἰ πέταται ἡ γῆ, πτερωτή ἐστιν ἡ γῆ,᾿ ἢ ἄρχεται ἀπὸ ²³ 80 ἀληθοῦς καὶ λήγει ἐπὶ ψεῦδος, οἷον ‘εἰ ἔστιν ἡ γῆ, πέταται ἡ γῆ', ἢ ἢ ἄρχεται ἀπὸ ψεύδους καὶ λήγει ἐπὶ ἀληθές, οἷον ‘εἰ
πέταται ἡ γῆ, ἔστιν ἡ γῆ'. τούτων δὲ μόνον τὸ ἀπὸ ἀληθοῦς ἀρχόμενον καὶ λῆγον ἐπὶ ψεῦδος μοχθηρὸν εἷναί φασιν, τὰ δ’ ἄλλα ὑγιῆ.

[105] For either the syllogism begins with the true and ends with the true (e.g. ‟If there is day, there is light”), or it begins with what is false and ends in falsehood (like ‟If the earth flies, the earth is winged”), or it begins with truth and ends in falsehood (like ‟If the earth exists, the earth flies”), or it begins with falsehood and ends in truth (like ‟If the earth flies, the earth exists”). And they say that of these only that which begins with truth and ends in falsehood is invalid, and the rest valid.
