ἰσογώνιον τὸ ΑΒΓ∠Ε καὶ πρὸς τοῖς Γ, ∠, Ε σημείοις ἔστω ἔνοπτρα ἐπίπεδα, ἀφʼ ὧν ὁρᾶται τὸ Α, καθάπερ δέδεικται, καὶ προσκείσθω τούτοις κοῖλα ἢ κυρτὰ ἒνοπτρα 1 κατὰ τὰς ἁφὰς τῶν ὄψεων. οὐκοῦν ἴση ἐστὶν ἡ μὲν Ζ τῇ Θ, ἡ δὲ Κ τῇ Λ ὅλη ἄρα ἡ ΚΖ ἴση ἐστὶ τῇ ΘΛ. ἀνακλασθήσεται ἄρα ἡ ὄψις ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρτοῦ ἐνόπτρου τοῦ Γ ἐπὶ τὸ ∠ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ∠ ἐπὶ τὸ Ε
καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ε ἐπὶ τὸ Α. φανερὸν οὖν, ὅτι καὶ κυρτῶν ἢ κοίλων ὄντων ἀπάντων καὶ ἀναμεμιγμένων ἔστιν ἰδεῖν τὸ αὐτό.
