[230] οἷον ψευδῆ μὲν ὡς ἐπὶ <τούτου> τοῦ ἔχει ‘οὐδεὶς δίδωσι κατηγόρημα πιεῖν· καιηγόρημα ¹ δέ ἐστι τὸ ἀψίνθιον πιεῖν· οὐδεὶς ἄρα δίδωσιν
ἀψίνθιον πιεῖν’, ἔτι δὲ ὅμοιον ψευδεῖ ὡς ἐπὶ τούτου ‘ὃ μήτε ἐνεδέχετο μήτε ἐνδέχεται, τοῦτο οὐκ ἔστιν ἄτοπον· οὔτε δὲ ἐνεδέχετο οὔτε ἐνδέχεται
τὸ ὁ ἰατρός, καθὸ ἰατρός ἐστι, φονεύει· <οὐκ ἄτοπόν ἐστι τὸ ὁ ἰατρός, καθὸ ἰατρός ἐστι, φονεύει>’.

[230] It is false, for example, in the case of the sophism ‟Nobody offers one a predicate to drink; but ‟to drink absinth” is a predicate; nobody therefore offers one absinth to drink.” Or again, it may resemble the false, as in this case—‟What neither was nor is possible is not absurd;¹ but it neither was nor is possible for a doctor, qua doctor, to murder; therefore it is not absurd that a doctor, qua doctor, should murder.”
