[141] χρόνος, ἤτοι πεπέρασται ἢ ἄπειρός ἐστιν. ἀλλ’ εἰ μὲν πεπέρασται, ἀπό τινος χρόνου ἤρξατο καὶ εἰς τινα χρόνον
λήξει· διὰ δὲ τοῦτο ἦν ποτε χρόνος, ὅτε οὐκ ἦν χρόνος πρὸ τοῦ ἄρξασθαι αὐτόν), καὶ ἔσται ποτὲ χρόνος ὅτε οὐκ ἔσται χρόνος μετὰ τὸ λῆξαι αὐτόν)· ὅπερ ἄτοπον. οὐ τοίνυν πεπέρασται ὁ χρόνος.
