p. 93 a3 Ἐπεὶ δ’ Ἐπεὶ ὠς ἔφαμεν, ταὐτὸν τὸ εἰδέναι τί ἐστι καὶ

τὸ εἰδέναι τὸ αἴτιον τοῦ τί ἐστιν.

Ἐπιχειρεῖ πρῶτον δεῖξαι ὄτι ἐστιν ὀρισμὸν ἀποδεῖξαι δε’ ὀρισμοῦ. συγχρῆται δ’ εἰς τὴν ἀπόδειξιν τοῖς προδεδειγμένοις αὐτῷ· δέδειχε γὰρ πρὸ ἀλίγου δι’ ὦν εἶπεν “ἐν ἅπασι γὰρ τούτοις φανερόν ἐστιν ὅτι ταὐτά ἐστι τὸ τί ἐστι καὶ διὰ τί ἀστιν”. ἔδειξε γὰρ διὰ τούτων ὅτι
ὁ τὸ τί ἐστι καὶ τὸν ὁρισμὸν ζητῶν αἴτιον ζητεῖ· ὁ γὰπ ὀρισμὸς ἑκόστου καὶ αἴτιον. τούτῳ δὴ προσχρῆται. εἰ γὰρ ὁ ὁρισμὸς αἴτιον, ὀ ὀρισμόν τινος
εἰδὼς καὶ αἵτιον οἶδε. δὲ τὸν ὁρισμόν ὁρισμόν τινος εἰδότα εἰδέναι τὸ αἴτιον αὐτῷ τοῦ εἶναι τοῦτο γὰρ σημαίνει αὐτῷ τὸ αἴτιον τοῦ τοῦ τί ἐστι) δέδεικται· ταὐτὸ γὰρ ἔκειτο > ἡ τοῦ τί ἐστι ζήτησις καὶ αἰτίας ζήτησις.

Δύναται τῷ λόγος δὲ τούτου εἰρηκέναι <αἴτιον> τοῦ δύνασθαι δειχθῆναι διὰ συλλογισμοῦ. καὶ εἴη ἂν ἡ πρò αὐτοῦ οὐχ ὁλόκληρος ἀλλ’ ἐλλιπῶς εἰρημένη· ἐπεὶ δ’ ἔστιν, ὡς ἔφαμεν, ταὐτὸν τὸ εἰδέναι τί ἐστι καὶ τὸ εἰδέναι τὸ αἵτιον τοῦ τί ἐστι· λείποι γὰρ ἂν αὐτῇ τὸ οἶόν τε διὰ συλλογισμοῦ τὸ τί ἦν εῖναι δείκνυσθι’. ἐπεὶ τοίνυν ὁ ὁρισμὸς

αἴτιον, ἢ ταὐτὸν ἔσται τούτῳ οὖ αἴτιον ἢ ἄλλο αὐτοῦ. τῶν γὰρ αἰτίων τὰ μὲv ταὐτά ἐδείνοις, ἐκείνοις, ὠρ αἴτια, ὁλόκηγρον αὐτῶν δηλοῦντα δηλοῦντα τὴν οὐσίαν· τοῦ γὰρ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ζῷον πεζὸν δέπουν εἶναι οὐκ ἄλλο τὸ αἴτιον παρ’ αὐτὸ τοῦτο, καὶ ὄλως ὁ ἑκάστου οἰκεῖος ὅρος.
