ARISTOT. Phys. Δ 9. 216b 22 εἰσὶ δέ τινες οἳ διὰ τοῦ μανοῦ καὶ πυκνοῦ οἴονται φανερὸν εἶναι ὅτι ἔστι κενόν. εἰ μὲν γὰρ μὴ ἔστι μανὸν καὶ πυκνόν, οὐδὲ συνιέναι καὶ πιλεῖσθαι οἷόν τε. εἰ δὲ τοῦτο μὴ εἴη, ἢ ὅλως κίνησις οὐκ ἔσται ἢ κυμανεῖ τὸ ὅλο ν, ὥσπερ ἔφη Ξοῦθος. SIMPL. C. d. St. 683, 24 Ξ. ὁ Πυθαγορικός, καὶ ὑπερχυθήσεται καὶ ἐπὶ πλέον ἐκταθήσεται, ὡς ἡ θάλασσα διὰ τῶν κυμάτων εἰς τοὺς αἰγιαλοὺς ὑπερχεῖται.
