[110] εἰ ἐγεννήθη Σωκράτης, <ἤτοι> ὅτε οὐκ ἦν Σωκράτης ἐγένετο ἢ ὅτε ἦν ἤδη Σωκράτης. ἀλλ’ εἰ μὲν ὅτε ἦν ἤδη γεγενῆσθαι
λέγοιτο, δὶς ἂν εἴη γεγενημένος· εἰ δὲ ὅτε οὐκ ἦν, ἅμα καὶ ἦν Σωκράτης καὶ οὐκ ἦν. ἦν μὲν τῷ γεγονέναι, οὐκ ἦν δὲ κατὰ τὴν ὑπόθεσιν.

[110] Yet none the less some argue also as follows:¹ If Socrates was born, Socrates became either when Socrates existed not or when Socrates already existed; but if he shall be said to have become when he already existed, he will have become twice; and if when he did not exist, Socrates was both existent and non- existent at the same time—existent through having become, non-existent by hypothesis.
