For I desire any one so to divide a solid body, of any dimension he pleases, as to make it possible for the solid parts to move up and down freely every way within the bounds of that superficies, if there be not left in it a void space as big as the least part into which he has divided the said solid body.
Izan ere, norbaitek berak gura lukeen dimentsioetako gorputz solido bat zatitzea nahi nuke, parte solidoak gora eta behera libreki norabide orotan azalera horren barruan higitu ahal izateko moduan, baldin esandako gorputz solidoa zatitzean ateratako zatirik txikiena adinako espazio hutsik geratzen ez bada.
