[130] διὰ δὲ ταῦτα καὶ τὸ κενὸν ἀνυπόστατον εὑρίσκεται, εἴγε μὴ δυνατόν ἐστιν αὐτὸ κατασχεθῆναι ὑπὸ σώματος καὶ γενέσθαι τόπον· ἐλέγετο γὰρ κενὸν εἶναι ὃ οἷόν τε ὑπὸ σώματος κατασχεθῆναι. συμπεριτρέπεται δὲ τούτοις καὶ ἡ χώρα· εἴτε γὰρ ὁ μέγας τόπος ἐστὶ χώρα,
συμπεριγράφεται τῷ τόπῳ, εἴτε ἡ κατὰ μέν τι ὑπὸ σώματος κατεχομένη, κατὰ δέ τι κενὴ διάστασις, ἀμροτέροις συναναιρεῖται.

[130] For these reasons also the Void is found to be unreal, since it is impossible for it to be occupied by body and to become place; for Void was defined¹ as ‟that which is capable of being occupied by body.” And, in the refutation of these, Room also is involved; for it is annulled along with place if ‟room is the large place,” while if it is ‟that which is partly occupied by body and partly empty extension,” its refutation is included in that of these two.

These arguments, and others besides, are directed against the views about place held by the Stoics.
