For this would no more make him the same person with Nestor, than if some of the particles of smaller that were once a part of Nestor were now a part of this man the same immaterial substance, without the same consciousness, no more making the same person, by being united to any body, than the same particle of matter, without consciousness, united to any body, makes the same person. But let him once find himself conscious of any of the actions of Nestor, he then finds himself the same person with Nestor.
Izan ere, horrek ez lioke Nestorrekin pertsona bera izaten lagunduko, inoiz Nestorren zati izandako materiaren partikuletariko bat gaur gizon horren zati balitz baino areago. Zeren kontzientzia bera ez daukan substantzia inmaterial bat berak, gorputz honi lotuta egonagatik, ez baitu pertsona bera osatzen, materiazko partikula berak, gorputzen bati lotutako kontzientziarik gabe, pertsona bera egiten duen baino gehiago. Baina gizon hori konturatzen bada bera Nestorren edozein ekintzaz kontziente dela, orduan Nestorrekin batera pertsona berra dela aurkituko du.
