Thesis 3>70
Latin
Cum tres fuerint qui dicerent omnia esse unum: Zenophanes, Parmenides, et Melissus, uidebit qui diligenter eorum dicta perscrutabitur, Zenophanis unum illud esse quod est simpliciter unum. Vnum Parmenidis non unum absolute ut creditur, sed ens unum. Vnum Melissi esse unum habens ad unum Zenophanis extremalem correspondentiam.
1486 punctuates 'perscrutabitur.Zenophanes' without an intervening comma; sense unaffected.
English
Three men held that all things are one — Xenophanes, Parmenides, and Melissus — yet a careful reader of their words will find that Xenophanes's one is the simply one; that Parmenides's one is not, as commonly supposed, the absolute one, but rather the oneness of being; and that Melissus's one bears an extreme correspondence to that of Xenophanes.
