[91] εἰ δὲ καὶ δοίη τις ἀπὸ ἑκάστης τῶν μονάδων ἀφαιρεῖσθαι τὴν μονάδα, δέκα ἕξει μέρη ἡ μο - ¹² νᾶς, δέκα δὲ ἔχουσα μέρη δεκὰς ἔσται. ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐπεὶ
δέκα ἕτερα μέρη ἀπολέλειπται, ἀφ’ ὧν ἀφῄρηται τὰ τῆς μονάδος λεγομένης δέκα μέρη, ἔσται τὰ δέκα εἴκοσι. ἂτοπον δὲ λέγειν τὸ ‘ὲν δέκα εἶναι καὶ τὰ δέκα εἴκοσι καὶ τὸ ἀδιαίρετον κατὰ αὐτούς διαιρεῖσθαι. ἄτοπον ἄρα τὸ λέγειν
ἀπὸ ὅλης τῆς δεκάδος ἀφαιρεῖσθαι τὴν μονάδα.

[91] And even were we to grant that the one is subtracted from each of the ones, the one will contain ten parts, and as containing ten parts it will beaten. And further, since ten other parts remain, after the subtraction of the ten parts of the so-called one, the ten will be twenty. But it is absurd to say that the one is ten and the ten twenty, and to divide what, according to them, is indivisible.¹ Wherefore it is absurd to say that the one is subtracted from the whole ten.
