Thesis 2>43

Latin

Haec duo stant simul, et ambo credo simul esse uera, et quod ratio Auenrois in commento ultimo primi Physicorum contra Auicennam concludat, et quod, cum hoc, rationes Auicennae ad probandum primum principium sunt bonae et efficaces.

English

These two things stand together, and I believe both are true at once: both that Averroes's argument in his last comment on the first book of the Physics concludes against Avicenna, and that, together with this, Avicenna's arguments for proving the first principle are good and effective.

Sense checked; no further crux.
