1 V, 6 | of number; for the first measure is the beginning, since 2 V, 6 | each class is the first measure of the class; the one, then, 3 V, 15| as the measurable to the measure, and the knowable to knowledge, 4 V, 15| and 1 is the beginning and measure of number, so that all these 5 V, 25| sense, only those which measure the whole; this is why two, 6 X, 1 | especially "to be the first measure of a kind", and most strictly 7 X, 1 | the other categories. For measure is that by which quantity 8 X, 1 | in the other classes too "measure" means that by which each 9 X, 1 | is first known, and the measure of each is a unit-in length, 10 X, 1 | In all these, then, the measure and starting-point is something 11 X, 1 | everywhere we seek as the measure something one and indivisible; 12 X, 1 | away or to add, there the measure is exact (hence that of 13 X, 1 | we imitate this sort of measure. For in the case of a furlong 14 X, 1 | subtracted, all men make the measure, whether of liquids or of 15 X, 1 | know it by means of this measure. And indeed they know movement 16 X, 1 | is the starting-point and measure (for they assume the movement 17 X, 1 | have mentioned.~But the measure is not always one in number— 18 X, 1 | articulate sounds by which we measure are more than one, and the 19 X, 1 | Thus, then, the one is the measure of all things, because we 20 X, 1 | thing is divisible.~The measure is always homogeneous with 21 X, 1 | the thing measured; the measure of spatial magnitudes is 22 X, 1 | so, and not say that the measure of numbers is a number; 23 X, 1 | if one claimed that the measure of units is units and not 24 X, 1 | perception, we call the measure of things for the same reason, 25 X, 1 | are measured rather than measure other things. But it is 26 X, 1 | Protagoras says "man is the measure of all things", as if he 27 X, 1 | meaning of the word, is a measure, and most properly of quantity, 28 X, 6 | have been measured with the measure. It is in this sense also 29 X, 6 | to the many in numbers as measure to thing measurable; and 30 X, 6 | for inasmuch as one is measure and the other measurable, 31 X, 6 | might be thought to be the measure, and the knowable the thing 32 X, 6 | number and the one is a measure.~ 33 XI, 6 | he said that man is the measure of all things, meaning simply 34 XI, 6 | appears to each man is the measure. This difficulty may be 35 XI, 6 | must be taken to be the measure, and the other must not. 36 XII, 7 | same; for "one" means a measure, but "simple" means that 37 XIV, 1 | The one" evidently means a measure. And in every case there 38 XIV, 1 | quantities a quantity (and the measure is indivisible, in the former 39 XIV, 1 | for "the one" means the measure of some plurality, and " 40 XIV, 1 | is not a number; for the measure is not measures, but both 41 XIV, 1 | not measures, but both the measure and the one are starting-points.) 42 XIV, 1 | are starting-points.) The measure must always be some identical 43 XIV, 1 | the things are horses, the measure is "horse", and if they 44 XIV, 1 | a horse, and a god, the measure is perhaps "living being", 45 XIV, 2 | unit", unless it means a measure or the quantitatively indivisible.
