[83] ὥσπερ οὖν εἰ, λόγου ¹ χάριν, ξύλου τριπήχεος ὄντος δεκάπηχυ ἕτερον ἀγαγών τις
ηὐξηκέναι τὸ τρίπηχυ λέγοι, ψεύσεται διὰ τὸ ὅλον ἕτερον εἶναι τοῦτο ἐκείνου, οὕτω καὶ ἐπὶ παντὸς τοῦ αὔξεσθαι λεγομένου, τῆς προτέρας ὕλης ἀπορρεούσης καὶ ἑτέρας ἐπεισιούσης, εἰ προστίθεται τὸ προστίθεσθαι λεγόμενον,
οὐκ ἂν αὔξησίν τις εἴποι τὸ τοιοῦτον εἶναι, ἀλλ’ ἐξ ὅλου ἑτεροίωσιν.

[83] Just as if, for example, when there is a beam three cubits long a man should bring another of ten cubits and declare that the beam of three cubits had increased, he would be lying because the one is wholly different from the other; so too in the case of every object which is said to increase, as the former matter flows away and fresh matter enters in its place, if what is said to be added is added, one should not call such a condition increase but complete alteration.
