  1   I, 1  |        many individual cases, is a matter of experience; but to judge
  2   I, 1  |      burning with fevers-this is a matter of art.~With a view to action
  3  II, 2  |      proceed from another, as from matter, ad infinitum (e.g. flesh
  4  II, 3  |            of things which have no matter. Hence method is not that
  5  II, 3  |            the whole of nature has matter. Hence we must inquire first
  6 III, 1  |      whether there is, besides the matter, any thing that is a cause
  7 III, 1  |          concrete thing I mean the matter with something already predicated
  8 III, 2  |           function it fulfils, the matter is earth and stones, and
  9 III, 4  |     something is predicated of the matter, must there, if there is
 10 III, 4  |          to be. Further, since the matter exists, because it is ungenerated,

 12 III, 4  |         for if neither essence nor matter is to be, nothing will be
 13 III, 4  |            same time, how does the matter become each of the individuals,
 14  IV, 5  |           it is fitting to put the matter so rather than as Epicharmus
 15  IV, 7  |        good to not-good), but as a matter of fact when there is an
 16   V, 2  |           same way, but the one as matter and the other as source

 18   V, 4  |         these materials, the first matter is preserved throughout.
 19   V, 4  |          and not only is the first matter nature (and this in two
 20   V, 4  |        source of movement; for the matter is called the nature because
 21   V, 6  |       similar to that in which the matter is one. These are sometimes
 22   V, 6  |     analogy; in number those whose matter is one, in species those
 23   V, 6  |        matter-either the proximate matter or the ultimate-is divisible
 24   V, 9  |          for both the things whose matter is one either in kind or
 25   V, 11 |         part to the whole, and the matter to the concrete substance,
 26   V, 12 |           capable of it; but, as a matter of fact, it has a certain
 27   V, 18 |           in a secondary sense the matter of each thing and the proximate
 28   V, 24 |        come from something as from matter, and this in two senses,
 29   V, 24 |            3) From the compound of matter and shape, as the parts
 30   V, 24 |         the whole is a compound of matter and shape,) for the shape
 31   V, 24 |            comes from the sensible matter, but the form also comes
 32   V, 24 |           form also comes from the matter of the form.-Some things,
 33   V, 25 |           both the bronze-i.e. the matter in which the form is-and
 34   V, 28 |          begetter more than to the matter, though people also get
 35   V, 28 |            things it moves, (3) as matter; for that to which the differentia
 36   V, 28 |          substratum, which we call matter.~Those things are said to
 37   V, 28 |          same thing (e.g. form and matter are different in genus);
 38  VI, 1  |         only as not separable from matter. Now, we must not fail to

 40  VI, 1  |         independent of perceptible matter. If then all natural things
 41  VI, 1  |          movement-they always have matter), it is clear how we must
 42  VI, 1  |           as is not independent of matter.~That physics, then, is
 43  VI, 1  |       immovable and separable from matter, is not at present clear;
 44  VI, 1  |   immovable and qua separable from matter. But if there is something
 45  VI, 1  |     separately, but as embodied in matter; while the first science
 46  VI, 2  |         will be of necessity). The matter, therefore, which is capable
 47  VI, 3  |          the fortuitous-whether to matter or to the purpose or to
 48 VII, 3  |        substance. And in one sense matter is said to be of the nature
 49 VII, 3  |         compound of these. (By the matter I mean, for instance, the
 50 VII, 3  |           the form is prior to the matter and more real, it will be
 51 VII, 3  |          must not merely state the matter thus; for this is not enough.
 52 VII, 3  |         and further, on this view, matter becomes substance. For if
 53 VII, 3  |          off evidently nothing but matter remains. For while the rest
 54 VII, 3  |         consider the question thus matter alone must seem to be substance.
 55 VII, 3  |           seem to be substance. By matter I mean that which in itself
 56 VII, 3  |         substance is predicated of matter). Therefore the ultimate
 57 VII, 3  |        view, then, it follows that matter is substance. But this is
 58 VII, 3  |           the compound of form and matter would be thought to be substance,
 59 VII, 3  |          be substance, rather than matter. The substance compounded
 60 VII, 3  |        compounded of both, i.e. of matter and shape, may be dismissed;
 61 VII, 3  |         its nature is obvious. And matter also is in a sense manifest.
 62 VII, 4  |        common end. But it does not matter at all in which of the two
 63 VII, 7  |         come to be is what we call matter; and that by which they
 64 VII, 7  |           by nature or by art have matter; for each of them is capable
 65 VII, 7  |           and this capacity is the matter in each-and, in general,
 66 VII, 7  |          thus until he reduces the matter to a final something which
 67 VII, 7  |        house from house, that with matter from that without matter;
 68 VII, 7  |           matter from that without matter; for the medical art and
 69 VII, 7  |         speak of substance without matter I mean the essence.~Of the
 70 VII, 7  |    pre-exist of necessity; for the matter is a part; for this is present
 71 VII, 7  |      becomes something. But is the matter an element even in the formula?
 72 VII, 7  |          are; we describe both the matter by saying it is brass, and
 73 VII, 7  |       brazen circle, then, has its matter in its formula.~As for that
 74 VII, 7  |           for that out of which as matter they are produced, some
 75 VII, 7  |      substratum, which we call its matter (e.g. what becomes healthy
 76 VII, 7  | qualification, if we looked at the matter carefully, even that a statue
 77 VII, 8  |          not the privation but the matter; for the meaning we attach
 78 VII, 8  |          form into this particular matter, and the result is a brazen
 79 VII, 8  |             I mean the one must be matter and the other form. If,
 80 VII, 8  |      everything which is generated matter is present, and one part
 81 VII, 8  |           one part of the thing is matter and the other form.~Is there,
 82 VII, 8  |         causing of the form in the matter. And when we have the whole,
 83 VII, 8  |       different in virtue of their matter (for that is different),
 84 VII, 9  |          is that in some cases the matter which governs the production
 85 VII, 9  |           product is present,-some matter is such as to be set in
 86 VII, 9  |          way required, while other matter is incapable of this; for
 87 VII, 9  |            The things, then, whose matter is of this sort, e.g. stones,
 88 VII, 9  |      spontaneously are those whose matter can be moved even by itself
 89 VII, 9  |         things which have not such matter cannot be produced except
 90 VII, 9  |          that comes to be (for the matter and the form must always
 91 VII, 10 |        substance consists. If then matter is one thing, form another,
 92 VII, 10 |        these a third, and both the matter and the form and the compound
 93 VII, 10 |    compound are substance even the matter is in a sense called part

 95 VII, 10 |       formula of the form, and not matter, but the segments are parts
 96 VII, 10 |          are parts in the sense of matter on which the form supervenes;
 97 VII, 10 |         that it is its perceptible matter. For even if the line when
 98 VII, 10 |       their essence, but rather as matter; and these are parts of
 99 VII, 10 |         which are the form and the matter taken together, e.g. the
100 VII, 10 |           these materials, and the matter is a part of them; but those
101 VII, 10 |        things which do not involve matter but are without matter,
102 VII, 10 |     involve matter but are without matter, and whose formulae are
103 VII, 10 |          circle" in which involves matter. For "circle" is used ambiguously,
104 VII, 10 |         which are of the nature of matter, and into which as its matter
105 VII, 10 |      matter, and into which as its matter a thing is divided, are
106 VII, 10 |            into these parts as its matter:-this being so, to the concrete
107 VII, 10 |         the brain; for it does not matter in the least which of the
108 VII, 10 |        formula and this particular matter treated as universal; and
109 VII, 10 |            him ultimate individual matter; and similarly in all other
110 VII, 10 |       compound of the form and the matter, or of the matter itself.
111 VII, 10 |          and the matter, or of the matter itself. But only the parts
112 VII, 10 |         the universal formula. But matter is unknowable in itself.
113 VII, 10 |     unknowable in itself. And some matter is perceptible and some
114 VII, 10 |          intelligible, perceptible matter being for instance bronze
115 VII, 10 |            bronze and wood and all matter that is changeable, and
116 VII, 10 |       changeable, and intelligible matter being that which is present
117 VII, 11 |         parts are of the nature of matter and what sort are not, neither
118 VII, 11 |          the formula? No, they are matter; but because man is not
119 VII, 11 |         Forms and to eliminate the matter is useless labour; for some
120 VII, 11 |    particular form in a particular matter, or particular things in
121 VII, 11 |          not perceptible must have matter; indeed there is some matter
122 VII, 11 |       matter; indeed there is some matter in everything which is not
123 VII, 11 |      before; for while one kind of matter is perceptible, there is
124 VII, 11 |          substance and the body is matter, and man or animal is the
125 VII, 11 |           there is, apart from the matter of such substances, another
126 VII, 11 |        substances, another kind of matter, and one should look for
127 VII, 11 |            know not only about the matter, but also about the substance
128 VII, 11 |          no formula of it with its matter, for this is indefinite,
129 VII, 11 |           form, from which and the matter the so-called concrete substance
130 VII, 11 |          snub nose or Callias, the matter also will be present. And
131 VII, 11 |         underlies it which acts as matter.) But things which are of
132 VII, 11 |         which are of the nature of matter, or of wholes that include
133 VII, 11 |          or of wholes that include matter, are not the same as their
134 VII, 12 |            it exists but exists as matter (for the voice is genus
135 VII, 12 |         for the voice is genus and matter, but its differentiae make
136 VII, 13 |           its attributes-or as the matter underlies the complete reality.
137 VII, 13 |       apart.~If, then, we view the matter from these standpoints,
138 VII, 15 |         the formula taken with the matter, while another kind is the
139 VII, 15 |      substances, because they have matter whose nature is such that
140 VII, 16 |             all of them, merely as matter) and earth and fire and
141 VII, 17 |            the question is why the matter is some definite thing;
142 VII, 17 |             by reason of which the matter is some definite thing;
143 VII, 17 |          which is present in it as matter; e.g. a and b are the elements
144 VIII, 1 |       sensible substances all have matter. The substratum is substance,
145 VIII, 1 |           this is in one sense the matter (and by matter I mean that
146 VIII, 1 |           sense the matter (and by matter I mean that which, not being
147 VIII, 1 |          some are not.~But clearly matter also is substance; for in
148 VIII, 1 |           necessary if a thing has matter for change of place that
149 VIII, 1 |           that it should also have matter for generation and destruction.~
150 VIII, 2 |        exists as underlying and as matter is generally recognized,
151 VIII, 2 |           the underlying body, the matter, is one and the same, but
152 VIII, 2 |            of composition of their matter, e.g. the things formed
153 VIII, 2 |             even when coupled with matter, yet it is what is analogous
154 VIII, 2 |         which is predicated of the matter is the actuality itself,
155 VIII, 2 |      formula is different when the matter is different; for in some
156 VIII, 2 |           house, for these are the matter; but those who propose "
157 VIII, 2 |    substance, which is composed of matter and form (for the formula
158 VIII, 2 |           rather an account of the matter); and the same is true of
159 VIII, 2 |           of the combined form and matter. E.g. what is still weather?
160 VIII, 2 |         expanse of air; air is the matter, and absence of motion is
161 VIII, 2 |           exists-one kind of it as matter, another as form or actuality,
162 VIII, 3 |        besides these, if these are matter,-something which is neither
163 VIII, 3 |      eliminate, and state only the matter. If, then, this is the cause
164 VIII, 3 |            the complex of form and matter that is generated. Whether
165 VIII, 3 |   definition must play the part of matter and the other that of form.~
166 VIII, 3 |           substance which involves matter. Let this, then, suffice
167 VIII, 4 |            causes, and if the same matter serves as starting-point
168 VIII, 4 |         generation, yet there is a matter proper to each, e.g. for
169 VIII, 4 |        come from the same original matter. And there come to be several
170 VIII, 4 |           same thing, when the one matter is matter for the other;
171 VIII, 4 |             when the one matter is matter for the other; e.g. phlegm
172 VIII, 4 |         the bile into its ultimate matter. For one thing comes from
173 VIII, 4 |    original constituents. When the matter is one, different things
174 VIII, 4 |   different things must have their matter different; e.g. a saw could
175 VIII, 4 |           or of wood. But if, as a matter of fact, the same thing
176 VIII, 4 |          the same; for if both the matter and the moving cause were
177 VIII, 4 |         not fire or earth, but the matter peculiar to the thing.~Regarding
178 VIII, 4 |           For perhaps some have no matter, or not matter of this sort
179 VIII, 4 |        some have no matter, or not matter of this sort but only such
180 VIII, 4 |         respect of place. Nor does matter belong to those things which
181 VIII, 4 |            of eclipse? What is its matter? There is none; the moon
182 VIII, 5 |           dark. Nor has everything matter, but only those things which
183 VIII, 5 |            are or are not, have no matter.~There is difficulty in
184 VIII, 5 |            in the question how the matter of each thing is related
185 VIII, 5 |           We answer that it is the matter of one in virtue of its
186 VIII, 5 |         wine is not said to be the matter of vinegar nor potentially
187 VIII, 5 |          accidental, and it is the matter of the animal that is itself
188 VIII, 5 |         corruption the potency and matter of a corpse, and it is water
189 VIII, 5 |            it is water that is the matter of vinegar. For the corpse
190 VIII, 5 |      another must go back to their matter; e.g. if from a corpse is
191 VIII, 5 |      corpse first goes back to its matter, and only then becomes an
192 VIII, 6 |          as we say, one element is matter and another is form, and
193 VIII, 6 |     disappears, because the one is matter, the other form. What, then,
194 VIII, 6 |          the essence of either. Of matter some is intelligible, some
195 VIII, 6 |            is always an element of matter as well as one of actuality;
196 VIII, 6 |           the things which have no matter, either intelligible or
197 VIII, 6 |           been said, the proximate matter and the form are one and
198 VIII, 6 |           all things which have no matter are without qualification
199  IX, 1  |       source, and because even the matter is an originative source,
200  IX, 6  |         has been shaped out of the matter to the matter, and that
201  IX, 6  |           out of the matter to the matter, and that which has been
202  IX, 6  |          substance to some sort of matter.~But also the infinite and
203  IX, 7  |           a casket and this is the matter of a casket, wood in general
204  IX, 7  |             thaten", this is prime matter; e.g. if earth is "airy"
205  IX, 7  |         but "fiery", fire is prime matter, which is not a "this".
206  IX, 7  |            the ultimate subject is matter and material substance.
207  IX, 7  |         with reference both to the matter and to the accidents; for
208  IX, 8  |          to the seeing subject the matter and the seed and that which
209  IX, 8  |         need to theorize. Further, matter exists in a potential state,
210  IX, 8  |      nothing to prevent its having matter which makes it capable of
211  IX, 8  |         kind of substance which is matter and potency, not actuality,
212   X, 1  |              For we must state the matter so, and not say that the
213   X, 1  |       something by them-while as a matter of fact they are measured
214   X, 3  |       yourself both in form and in matter; and again, (3) if the definition
215   X, 3  |            other unless both their matter and their definition are
216   X, 3  |          the things have not their matter in common and are not generated
217   X, 4  |         interval), and, to put the matter generally, this is clear
218   X, 4  |         most are contrary (for the matter is the same for contraries);
219   X, 4  |  comings-to-be which happen to the matter start from the contraries,
220   X, 8  |          way, whether conceived as matter or otherwise. For not only
221   X, 8  |           this is fitting; for the matter is indicated by negation,
222   X, 8  |     negation, and the genus is the matter of that of which it is called
223   X, 9  |           is definition and one is matter, contrarieties which are
224   X, 9  |       thing taken as including its matter do not make one. And so
225   X, 9  |          on his material side, and matter does not create a difference;
226   X, 9  |            Callias is definition + matter, the pale man, then, is
227   X, 9  |           it is not because of the matter, but because there is a
228   X, 9  |           definition. But does the matter not make things other in
229   X, 9  |            species, although their matter is included with their definitions?
230   X, 9  |          of its essence but in the matter, ie. the body. This is why
231  XI, 1  |         the difficulties about the matter of the objects of mathematics.
232  XI, 2  |           better claim to the name matter? This, however, does not
233  XI, 2  |        product from unity and from matter, assert that number is substance?
234  XI, 2  |         thing (by which I mean the matter and that which is joined
235  XI, 2  |        that all things that are in matter are perishable. But if there
236  XI, 4  |       studies a part of its proper matter which it has detached, e.g.
237  XI, 6  |           one ate or not. But as a matter of fact they take the food
238  XI, 7  |  definition of "snub" includes the matter of the thing, but that of "
239  XI, 7  |     concave" is independent of the matter; for snubness is found in
240  XI, 7  |            without eliminating the matter.~Since there is a science
241  XI, 12 |           Further, there must be a matter underlying that which comes
242 XII, 2  |           the contraries, viz. the matter. Now since changes are of
243 XII, 2  |        these several respects. The matter, then, which changes must
244 XII, 2  |            have had some notion of matter. Now all things that change
