and there, as well as whoever is on the arc. Likewise, his statement: "and that it is the measure of a half and a third, and that it varies with increase and decrease." This has been necessitated in the previous example. As for his statement: "and that the body moves from it and to it," if he meant by it the affirmation of estimation, we have already responded to it. But if he meant that the body can only occupy a space in existence and can only pass through existence, we refute this. In fact, the adjacency of the body to non-existence and its passage through non-existence is easier than its adjacency to existence and its passage through existence, just as its adjacency to another body and its passage through it. ʿAbd al-Ḥakīm has resolved the ʿAḍudī doubts in "Ḥawāshī al-Mawāqif," so refer to it if you wish. This, and the denier of existence suffices with refuting and criticizing the evidence of those claiming existence, and this has been achieved. The theologians have volunteered with evidence found in the books. Those who assert that space is something existent have differed in their opinions, each invalidating the other's claim, and all of them are arguments for the theologians. For they can say: if it were something existent, it would either be like this or like that, and then they argue against the invalidity of each division with what the opponent invalidated it.
