10 Parme|         Neither can the not one partake or be part of one, for in

13 Parme|    others have parts, they must partake of the whole, and must be
14 Parme|         the whole and the parts partake of one, for the whole of
15 Parme|       they had these they would partake either of one opposite,
16 Parme|          And may not all things partake of both opposites, and be

31 Parme|         can that which does not partake of sameness, have either
32 Parme|       has.~Then it will neither partake of one measure, nor of many,
33 Parme|      with itself or other, must partake of equality or likeness
34 Parme|       said that the one did not partake either of equality or of
35 Parme|      also said, that it did not partake of inequality or unlikeness.~
36 Parme|   things which are in time, and partake of time, must in every case,
37 Parme|        Yes.~But the one did not partake of those affections?~Not
38 Parme|        at all.~Then it does not partake of time, and is not in any
39 Parme|         the one cannot possibly partake of being?~That is the inference.~
40 Parme|         is, can one be, and not partake of being?~Impossible.~Then
41 Parme|          Yes.~Then the one will partake of figure, either rectilinear
42 Parme|       Again, the not-one cannot partake of the one; otherwise it
43 Parme|       would it not in that case partake of the one?~It would.~If
44 Parme|         will.~Does the one also partake of time? And is it and does

55 Parme|          are infinite, and also partake of limit.~Certainly.~Then

57 Parme|         in which the others can partake of the one, if they do not
58 Parme|         the one, if they do not partake either in whole or in part?~
