  1   I,  1 |            first of the elements of bodies. They take place in the
  2   I,  1 |   affections produced in these same bodies by concretion. When the
  3   I,  2 |          makes up the system of the bodies that move in a circle, and
  4   I,  2 |       circle, and besides this four bodies owing their existence to
  5   I,  2 |          the motion of these latter bodies being of two kinds: either
  6   I,  2 |           to the centre. These four bodies are fire, air, water, earth.
  7   I,  2 |        subject, is made up of these bodies. This world necessarily
  8   I,  2 |             whereas all these other bodies have separate regions which
  9   I,  2 |             of the eternally moving bodies.~
 10   I,  3 |            earth to the size of the bodies which exist around it, since
 11   I,  3 |          maintain that not only the bodies in motion but that which
 12   I,  3 |             suppose that the moving bodies are all of them of a small
 13   I,  3 |           were full of fire and the bodies consisted of fire every
 14   I,  3 |         spaces left by the heavenly bodies must be filled by some element.
 15   I,  3 |            first element and of the bodies it contains dissolves, and
 16   I,  3 |            produced by the heavenly bodies which are not themselves
 17   I,  3 |             the air; indeed, moving bodies are often actually found
 18   I,  4 |             most inflammable of all bodies. Below this comes air. We
 19   I,  4 |         from the lamp and sometimes bodies are projected by being squeezed
 20   I,  11|             latter there fall three bodies condensed by cold, namely
 21   I,  12|           case of hail, since solid bodies cannot coalesce like liquid
 22   I,  14|          grows and decays, like the bodies of plants and animals. Only
 23  II,  2 |            the rest of the heavenly bodies subsist. Again, they are
 24  II,  2 |          implies that the celestial bodies do not feed on it, and that
 25  II,  2 |             thing happens in animal bodies. Here, too, the food when
 26  II,  2 |   especially liquid food, in animal bodies.~
 27  II,  3 |         something. First, in animal bodies what is least digested,
 28  II,  3 |      excrementary residue in animal bodies, and, in things burnt, ashes.
 29  II,  7 |          than as meaning that heavy bodies move to the earth from every
 30  II,  8 |           the wind contained in our bodies. Thus some earthquakes are
 31  II,  8 |          what is observed in animal bodies. Tetanus and spasms are
 32 III,  6 |             causes two varieties of bodies. We maintain that there
 33 III,  6 |             correspond two kinds of bodies that originate in the earth, "
 34 III,  6 |          cause of all metals, those bodies which are either fusible
 35 III,  6 |         general theory of all these bodies, but we must take up each
 36  IV,  1 |             generated in putrefying bodies, because the heat that has
 37  IV,  3 |             of wood. But only those bodies can be boiled that contain
 38  IV,  4 |            the dry. The elements of bodies, that is, the passive ones,
 39  IV,  4 |          the moist and the dry; the bodies themselves are compounded
 40  IV,  4 |       nature of the body; thus some bodies partake more of the dry,
 41  IV,  4 |           therefore all determinate bodies in our world involve earth
 42  IV,  4 |            material elements of all bodies that animals live in them
 43  IV,  4 |           fire.~Of the qualities of bodies hardness and softness are
 44  IV,  5 |            composite and determined bodies must involve concretion.
 45  IV,  5 |             watery fluids and those bodies which contain water either
 46  IV,  6 |            cold. Hence those of the bodies solidified by heat or cold
 47  IV,  6 |       dissolved by their opposites. Bodies solidified by the dry-hot
 48  IV,  6 |            is the moist-cold, while bodies solidified by cold are dissolved
 49  IV,  6 |             solidification. Aqueous bodies are not solidified by fire:
 50  IV,  6 |       solidifying it.~Hence aqueous bodies do not thicken when they
 51  IV,  6 |             does not thicken. Those bodies that are made up of both
 52  IV,  6 |         goes off in vapour with it. Bodies that are soft but not liquid
 53  IV,  6 |             baking: but those mixed bodies that are liquid thicken
 54  IV,  6 |       solidifying, like milk. Those bodies which have first been thickened
 55  IV,  6 |             that reason.~Now of the bodies solidified by cold which
 56  IV,  6 |         lime. and earth, too~Of the bodies which are solidified by
 57  IV,  7 |            it or boil it off.~Those bodies which are made up of earth
 58  IV,  7 |           boiling-I mean, must. All bodies of this kind lose their
 59  IV,  7 |             of earth. Some of these bodies, as we have said, are also
 60  IV,  7 |            digest it.~Some of these bodies are soluble, e.g. natron,
 61  IV,  7 |          the cold so compacts these bodies together again as to leave
 62  IV,  7 |             it only dissolves those bodies that are solidified by cold
 63  IV,  8 |            this makes it clear that bodies are formed by heat and cold
 64  IV,  8 |             these qualities fashion bodies that we find heat in all
 65  IV,  8 |             four are found in mixed bodies. So water and earth are
 66  IV,  8 |         constituents of homogeneous bodies both in plants and in animals
 67  IV,  8 |             shut up in the compound bodies, as we have explained elsewhere.~
 68  IV,  8 |          elsewhere.~All these mixed bodies are distinguished from one
 69  IV,  8 |           other homogeneous natural bodies. Let us begin by enumerating
 70  IV,  8 |       affections differentiate most bodies from one another. Let us
 71  IV,  8 |          them again now. Of all the bodies that admit of solidification
 72  IV,  8 |             heat. Consequently some bodies are affected in this way
 73  IV,  8 |           by defect of heat: watery bodies by defect of heat, earthy
 74  IV,  8 |           by defect of heat, earthy bodies of moisture. Now those bodies
 75  IV,  8 |       bodies of moisture. Now those bodies that are so affected by
 76  IV,  8 |           water to enter. All those bodies in which this is not the
 77  IV,  8 |        natron, salt, dry mud. Those bodies that solidified through
 78  IV,  8 |             copper. So much for the bodies that admit of solidification
 79  IV,  8 |           not admit of melting.~The bodies which do not admit of solidification
 80  IV,  9 |                             9~Those bodies admit of softening which
 81  IV,  9 |          are iron and horn.~Both of bodies that can melt and of bodies
 82  IV,  9 |         bodies that can melt and of bodies that cannot, some do and
 83  IV,  9 |          not water, but some of the bodies that can be melted by water
 84  IV,  9 |            action of water, whereas bodies that can be "melted" by
 85  IV,  9 |           other set of pores.)~Some bodies can be bent or straightened,
 86  IV,  9 |            pottery and stone. Those bodies are apt to be bent and straightened
 87  IV,  9 |            general to contact. Such bodies are either soft, like wax,
 88  IV,  9 |             copper. Non-impressible bodies are either hard, like pottery (
 89  IV,  9 |       movement of the motor.) Those bodies are subject to squeezing
 90  IV,  9 |            malleable. All malleable bodies are impressible, but not
 91  IV,  9 |             but not all impressible bodies are malleable, e.g. wood,
 92  IV,  9 |            case with cutting. Those bodies which cannot behave like
 93  IV,  9 |           comminuible. Such are the bodies that have the pores along
 94  IV,  9 |            or soft, it is tractile. Bodies owe this property to the
 95  IV,  9 |        length and contracted again. Bodies that are not like this are
 96  IV,  9 |          not like this are friable. Bodies are compressible when they
 97  IV,  9 |            been squeezed into.~Some bodies are combustible and some
 98  IV,  9 |    combustible; stone, ice are not. Bodies are combustible when their
 99  IV,  9 |          are not combustible.~Those bodies give off fumes which contain
100  IV,  9 |             agency of burning heat. Bodies that give off fumes give
101  IV,  9 |    consequently is inflammable.~All bodies are combustible that dissolve
102  IV,  9 |        dissolve into ashes, and all bodies do this that solidify under
103  IV,  9 |          for we find that all these bodies are mastered by fire. Of
104  IV,  9 |             to fire.~Of combustible bodies some are inflammable and
105  IV,  9 |   non-inflammable". Those fumigable bodies that are not liquid are
106  IV,  9 |           in conjunction with other bodies rather than by themselves.
107  IV,  9 |          Most inflammable are those bodies that give off smoke. Of
108  IV,  9 |             that give off smoke. Of bodies of this kind those that
109  IV,  9 |           be reduced to coals. Some bodies that can be melted are not
110  IV,  9 |  inflammable, e.g. copper; and some bodies that cannot be melted are
111  IV,  9 |    inflammable, e.g. wood; and some bodies can be melted and are also
112  IV,  9 |            of these ways. Fumigable bodies are inflammable when earth
113  IV,  9 |             with the dry.) So those bodies that give off fumes, like
114  IV,  10|                      10~Homogeneous bodies differ to touch-by these
115  IV,  10|          and colour.~By homogeneous bodies I mean, for instance, "metals",
116  IV,  10|           else of this kind and the bodies that are extracted from
117  IV,  10|           which the non-homogeneous bodies like the face, a hand, a
118  IV,  10|          like them.~The homogeneous bodies, it is true, are constituted
119  IV,  10|          water and earth (for these bodies exhibit those qualities
120  IV,  10|            concrete the homogeneous bodies out of earth and water as
121  IV,  10|            which of the homogeneous bodies are made of earth and which
122  IV,  10|         which of both.~Of organized bodies some are liquid, some soft,
123  IV,  10|          and "sweet wine".~Of solid bodies those that have been solidified
124  IV,  10|          cheese, natron, salt. Some bodies are solidified by both heat
125  IV,  10|          the heat. For salt and the bodies that are purely of earth
126  IV,  10|            that of heat only, these bodies by that of both. So both
127  IV,  10|            in the process. Of these bodies those from which all the
128  IV,  10|            For amber, also, and the bodies called "tears" are formed
129  IV,  10|            in water.) Some of these bodies cannot be melted or softened;
130  IV,  10|           it: in the other class of bodies the agent is external fire.)
131  IV,  10|             among "meltables" those bodies which are melted by fire,
132  IV,  10|             water.~Since, then, all bodies are either liquid or solid,
133  IV,  10|             earth. For of all these bodies some admit of softening
134  IV,  11|             at what solid or liquid bodies are hot and what cold.~Bodies
135  IV,  11|       bodies are hot and what cold.~Bodies consisting of water are
136  IV,  11|          they contain foreign heat. Bodies consisting of earth, on
137  IV,  11|            in a sense the matter of bodies. For the dry and the moist
138  IV,  11|            of animals in putrefying bodies: the putrefying body contains
139  IV,  11|          destroyed its proper heat.~Bodies made up of earth and water
140  IV,  11|          then, is the case of mixed bodies. However, the distinction
141  IV,  11|            happens that the coldest bodies can be raised to the highest
142  IV,  11|          most solid and the hardest bodies are coldest when deprived
143  IV,  12|           and the other homogeneous bodies severally.~Our account of
144  IV,  12|        formation of the homogeneous bodies has given us the elements
145  IV,  12|           which class each of those bodies belongs. The homogeneous
146  IV,  12|            belongs. The homogeneous bodies are made up of the elements,
147  IV,  12|             turn of the homogeneous bodies as matter. All the homogeneous
148  IV,  12|         matter. All the homogeneous bodies consist of the elements
149  IV,  12|            pure definition; but the bodies intermediate between the
150  IV,  12|            of plants, and inanimate bodies like copper and silver,
151  IV,  12|          motions they set up as the bodies are solidified by the hot
152  IV,  12|        parts as are the homogeneous bodies, flesh, bone, hair, sinew,
153  IV,  12|           but in the nonhomogeneous bodies nature or some other cause.~
154  IV,  12|             each of the homogeneous bodies belongs, we must now find
155  IV,  12|           it.~After the homogeneous bodies have been explained we must
156  IV,  12| non-homogeneous too, and lastly the bodies made up of these, such as
