[69] ἀλλ᾿ εἰ μὶν προωστικῶς ἑαυτὸ κινεῖ, ἔσται ἐξόπισθεν ἑαυτοῦ, εἰ δὲ ἐπισπαστικῶς, ἒμπροσθεν, εἰ δὲ ἀνωστικῶς, ὑποκάτω, εἰ
δὲ ἐνθλιπτικῶς, ἐπάνω. ἀδύνατον δὲ αὐτό τι ἑαυτοῦ ἐπάνω εἶναι ἢ ἔμπροσθεν ἢ ὑποκάτω ἢ ὀπίσω· ἀδύνατον ἄρα ὑφ᾿ ἑαυτοῦ τι κινεῖσθαι. εἰ δὲ μήτε ὑφ᾿ ἑαυτοῦ τι κινεῖται μήτε ὑφ᾿ ἑτέρου, οὐδὲ κινεῖταί τι.

[69] But if it moves itself propulsively, it will be behind itself; and if by pulling after, it will be in front of itself; and if by pushing up, it will be below itself; and if by thrusting down, it will be above itself. But it is impossible for anything to be above or before or beneath or behind its own self; therefore it is impossible for anything to be moved by itself. But if nothing is moved either by itself or by another, then nothing is moved at all.
