grc plotinus enneads

Εἰ δʼ ὑπὸ τοῦ τάχους ταχύνεσθαί τις τὴν ἀντιπερίστασίν φησιν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ συμβεβηκὸς ἂν γίνοιτο, οὐκ εἰς τὸ ἄνωθεν ἐπεὶ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ξύλων ἡ ὁρμὴ πρὸς τὸ ἄνω οὐκ ὠθούντων καὶ ἡμεῖς δὲ κινούμενοι τέμνομεν τὸν ἀέρα, καὶ οὐχ ἡ ἀντιπερίστασις ὠθεῖ, πληροῖ δὲ μόνον ἐφεπόμενος τὸ παρʼ ἡμῶν κενούμενον.
