1438 XII, 1 | substance is first, and is succeeded by quality, and then by

1457 III, 4 | for all things. But they swallow the difficulty we stated
1458 VII, 17 | not like a heap but like a syllable-now the syllable is not its
1459 XIII, 4 | essence, for he was seeking to syllogize, and "what a thing is" is

1478 XIV, 6 | champions who fought against Thebes were seven. Is it then because
1479 VII, 2 | other things come after them-lines and planes-until we come
1480 VII, 6 | substances nor entities prior to them-substances such as some assert the
1481 X, 1 | come to know something by them-while as a matter of fact they
