1. Now to find out concerning the three times; for they are neither by
themselves, nor [yet] are they at-oned; and [yet] again they are
at-oned, and by themselves [as well].

For should’st thou think the present is without the past, it can’t be
present unless it has become already past. 1 <#fn_82>

For from the past the present comes, and from the present future goes.

But if we have to scrutinize more closely, thus let us argue:

2. Past time doth pass into no longer being

p. 29

this, 1 <#fn_83> and future [time] doth not exist, in its not being
present; nay, present even is not present, in its continuing.

Time, then, which /stands/ not [steady] (ἕστηκε), but which is on the
turn, without a central point at which to stop,—how can it be called
/in-stant/ (ἐνεστώς), 2 <#fn_84> seeing even that it hath no power to
/stand/ (ἑστάναι)?

Again, past joining present, and present [joining] future, they [thus]
are one; for they are not without them 3 <#fn_85> in their sameness, and
their oneness, and their continuity.

Thus, [then], time’s both continuous and discontinuous, though one and
the same [time].
