For destruction is not [present] at the time of the thing's existence, since [if it were] even something existing for just a moment would be absent. Nor [can it be] before [the thing's] origination, since what is unborn cannot be destroyed—for the son of a barren woman and similar [non-existent things] are not destroyed while unborn. Even though occurring afterwards, it does not occur long after, since what is destroyed in the third and subsequent moments cannot be destroyed again, like fire that has been reduced to ashes. Rather, destruction [occurs] in the second moment immediately after the thing.
