Yet those who say that semen comes from the 8 I, 18| flesh. But if we do not say this (while saying that 9 I, 18| can change, then why not say that the semen from the 10 I, 18| alternative, for surely we cannot say that it is increased later 11 I, 18| parts is such later. And to say that some part of the semen 12 I, 18| from all the body, as they say, they ought not to claim 13 I, 18| from the workman, so to say, not the material he works 14 I, 18| they talk as if one were to say that the semen comes from 15 I, 18| it is one thing when we say that night comes from day 16 I, 18| follows B; it is another if we say that a statue is made from 17 I, 18| the other cases where we say that the thing made is made 18 I, 18| waste-product, for when they say that it comes from all the 19 I, 18| become excessive.~So we must say the opposite of what the 20 I, 18| from all the body, we shall say it is that whose nature 21 I, 18| breeding from them, and say that the vines "play the 22 I, 19| mixture of both, as some say, is that often the female 23 II, 1 | taking a general view, we may say that sanguinea are of greater 24 II, 1 | themselves are so.

I say that these form a gradation, 26 II, 1 | other hand, it is absurd to say that it perishes after making 27 II, 1 | no difference whether we say "the semen" or "that from 28 II, 1 | And just as we should not say that an axe or other instrument 29 II, 1 | alone, so neither shall we say that foot or hand were made 30 II, 4 | relaxed. One might as well say that it is by the breath 31 II, 4 | this is the power that we say they each possess, and this 32 II, 4 | things are drawn up, but some say that nothing of the kind 33 II, 4 | is the case of those who say the woman emits semen as 34 II, 4 | the same nature)—when, I say, the more solid part comes 35 II, 4 | parts. (Wherefore all who say, as did Democritus, that 36 II, 5 | difficulty; in what way are we to say that their eggs live? It 37 II, 5 | the natural philosophers say that like is brought to 38 II, 5 | running a double course, so to say, and turning back to the 39 II, 6 | as some of the physicists say. This is manifest in birds, 40 II, 6 | the useful, that is to say what the end uses. Accordingly, 41 II, 6 | principle of movement (I say a part because this is from 42 II, 6 | form it.~But they do not say well nor do they assign 43 II, 6 | assign a necessary cause who say simply that "it always happens 44 II, 7 | membranes and chorion.~Those who say that children are nourished 45 II, 8 | is a "ginnus", that is to say, a dwarf mule; for "ginni" 46 III, 2 | the eggs to overboil so to say.

Many say that the hyena, and Herodorus 53 III, 8 | female. Therefore those who say that all fish are female 54 III, 9 | formation this nature. I say that the former generate 55 III, 10| from elsewhere, as some say, and if so the young must 56 III, 10| maintained by some, who say that they bring the young 57 III, 10| drones and bees, for some say that the former are male, 58 III, 10| latter female, while others say that the bees are male and 59 III, 10| kings (which is why some say that the young of the drones 60 III, 10| are not among them, as men say. And an argument against 61 III, 11| has but few and one may say practically no representatives 62 III, 11| as if plants were, so to say, land-oysters, oysters water-plants.~ 63 III, 11| really "earth-born" as some say, they came into being in 64 III, 11| and such generation we say is from an egg.~It is plain 65 IV, 1 | perfect of them, and since we say that the sexes are first 66 IV, 1 | seeds; for the germ, they say, comes from the male while 67 IV, 1 | Others, as Empedocles, say that the differentiation 68 IV, 1 | though it is better to say that the one part makes 69 IV, 1 | serve against those who say that the male comes from 70 IV, 1 | in this view. If, as they say, he does contribute something 71 IV, 1 | that of these philosophers, say that if a man copulates 72 IV, 1 | Leophanes asserted. And some say that the same happens in 73 IV, 1 | again, it is formed, as we say, in a certain sense, out 74 IV, 1 | please.~To recapitulate, we say that the semen, which is 75 IV, 1 | no difference whether we say that the semen comes from 76 IV, 2 | wanes.~The shepherds also say that it not only makes a 77 IV, 3 | likeness of itself. (Whether we say that it is the semen or 78 IV, 3 | difference; nor again whether we say that it "makes them grow" 79 IV, 3 | versions of the reason. Some say that the child is more like 80 IV, 3 | comes from each, then, they say, the child is like neither. 81 IV, 3 | Empedocles or Democritus say what is on other grounds 82 IV, 3 | impossible, and (2) those who say that it is determined by 83 IV, 3 | For there are some who say that the semen, though one, 84 IV, 3 | all of another, so they say it is with the generative 85 IV, 3 | general substratum, that is to say the animal. Then people 86 IV, 3 | the animal. Then people say that the child has the head 87 IV, 4 | a violent one nor, so to say, contrary to Nature; at 88 IV, 4 | female, or whether, as we say, it does not act in this 89 IV, 4 | mass. Now it is no use to say that the several regions 90 IV, 6 | hatched imperfect, that is to say blind; this applies to all 91 IV, 7 | not due to heat, as some say, but rather to the weakness 92 IV, 8 | But this is as much as to say that it is contrary to Nature, 93 IV, 10| they be animals or, one may say, anything else whatever. 94 IV, 10| of the moon, that is to say, the full moon and her disappearance 95 V, 1 | products of Nature, we must not say that each is of a certain 96 V, 1 | no difference whether we say, as some do, that seeing 97 V, 1 | seen so well—or whether we say that seeing is due to the 98 V, 1 | best if there were, so to say, a continuous tube straight 99 V, 2 | stamp, so that a man can say what he has heard.
