[62] εἰ δὲ οὔτε τῶν οὐσιῶν μόνων μιγνυμένων ἀλλήλαις οὔτε τῶν ποιοτήτων μόνων οὔτε ἀμφοτέρων οὔτε οὐθετέρου δύναται γίνεσθαι κρᾶσις, παρὰ δὲ ταῦτα οὐδὲν οἷόν τέ ἐστιν ἐπινοεῖν, ἀνεπινόητος ὁ τρόπος τῆς τε
κράσεως καὶ ὅλως τῆς μίξεως ἐστίν. διόπερ εἰ μήτε κατὰ θίξιν παρατιθέμενα ἀλλήλοις τὰ καλούμενα στοιχεῖα μήτε ἀνακιρνώμενα ἢ μιγνύμενα ποιητικὰ τῶν συγκριμάτων εἷναι δύναται, ἀνεπινόητός ἐστιν ἡ κατὰ τούς δογματικούς φυσιολογία καὶ ὅσον ἐπὶ τούτῳ τῷ λόγῳ.

[62] But if Mixture cannot come about by the mutual blending either of the substances alone or of the qualities alone or of both or of neither, and it is impossible to conceive any other ways than these, then the process of Mixture and of blending in general is inconceivable. Hence, if the so-called Elements are unable to form the compounds either by way of contact through juxtaposition or by mixture or blending, then, so far as this argument goes, the physical theory of the Dogmatists is inconceivable.
