1. A body lighter than water, yet
Weighed in it, all lose some weight.

2. The loss balances the light and tops it -
Part of the second remains in excess.

3. So both in water are heavier than themselves.
The weight of the heavy - air takes its place.

4. Both are wholes and this is a part of it.
The part now weighs less than the whole of it.

5. And necessarily the part exceeds
Any whole by reversing them - this is its example.

6. And if you consider the matter, it is easy for you to
Keep them without any weight - so speak to him.

7. You will then see the whole annulled, and existence
Was winning through it at its lowest.

8. And whoever brings us proof of this
Has favor - we thank him as befits him.
