1 I, 1 | Now some animals come into being from the union of male and 2 I, 1 | such are all that come into being not from a union of the 3 I, 1 | ought to have come into being in the same way; this is 4 I, 1 | there would have come into being again from them another 5 I, 1 | plants, some coming into being from seed and others, as 6 I, 2 | semen actually comes into being from the male and female. 7 I, 2 | naming Earth mother as being female, but addressing Heaven 8 I, 2 | out of which comes into being the offspring previously 9 I, 4 | to prevent their desire being too violent and hasty. It 10 I, 5 | both the penis and the legs being sinewy.) So that, since 11 I, 5 | emission is due to the penis being heated by its movement; 12 I, 8 | hot, as is shown by that being the part which concocts 13 I, 11| soft envelope, the reason being that they have but little 14 I, 11| uterus placed high, but, as being viviparous, low, participating 15 I, 12| reason for the uterus always being internal is that in this 16 I, 12| skin is opposed to this, being too hard to be adapted for 17 I, 12| for enclosing them or for being soft like a true "skin", 18 I, 12| animals for their testes being internal besides those previously 19 I, 12| produce young in both ways, being oviparous internally and 20 I, 13| participate in both classes, being at once oviparous and viviparous. 21 I, 14| to the sides of the tail being long prevent them from uniting 22 I, 16| insects do not come into being from animals but from putrefying 23 I, 18| yet this also comes into being with the same form as in 24 I, 18| homogeneous parts also from being like for some other reason 25 I, 18| together when they come into being and should come from different 26 I, 18| possessing a faculty, others by being in certain states or conditions; 27 I, 18| homogeneous parts come into being, except that these theorists 28 I, 18| are to put this down as being so, that the female sex 29 I, 18| some creatures come into being neither from parents of 30 I, 18| as their origin come into being those things which are naturally 31 I, 18| man becomes unmusical from being musical, sick from being 32 I, 18| being musical, sick from being well, and generally in this 33 I, 18| is not in the sense of A being after B, as the voyage comes 34 I, 18| the new thing comes into being. We must discover then, 35 I, 18| products of semen come into being from contraries, since coming 36 I, 18| contraries, since coming into being from contraries is also 37 I, 18| called the seminal fluid, being that which first has in 38 I, 18| grain differ only in the one being earlier and the other later, 39 I, 18| nutriment, an indication of this being that if it is mixed with 40 I, 18| some human beings, who, being in good condition and developing 41 I, 19| nutriment when reduced to blood, being that which is finally distributed 42 I, 19| concocted, and (2) that being of such a nature it should 43 I, 19| altogether, nor often when, they being present, the efflux still 44 I, 20| that the female is female, being incapable of concocting 45 I, 20| coagulation of milk, the milk being the material, the fig-juice 46 I, 20| the secretion of the male, being divided into parts in the 47 I, 20| correspond to the material, being neither too little to concoct 48 I, 20| one young one comes into being.~That, then, the female 49 I, 21| they each fall, the one being active and motive and the 50 I, 21| in which a bed comes into being from the carpenter and the 51 I, 21| which a ball comes into being from the wax and the form. 52 I, 21| gives rise to the embryo as being in the embryo, but only 53 I, 21| become fertile instead of being wind-eggs. And if while 54 I, 23| separated, one individual being male and one female, though 55 I, 23| are mingled, female not being separated from male. Wherefore 56 I, 23| the animal and the rest being nutriment, so also from 57 I, 23| before.~Testaceous animals, being intermediate between animals 58 II, 1 | such things as admit of being better or worse, and what 59 II, 1 | lifeless which has none, and being is better than not being, 60 II, 1 | being is better than not being, living than not living. 61 II, 1 | therefore that which comes into being is eternal in the only way 62 II, 1 | whereby that which comes into being is male, is better and more 63 II, 1 | which the young comes into being, the rest being nutriment 64 II, 1 | comes into being, the rest being nutriment for it; but the 65 II, 1 | their eggs increase after being produced.~All the vivipara 66 II, 1 | which though they come into being by spontaneous generation 67 II, 1 | perfect animal comes into being, reaching the end of its 68 II, 1 | before, do not come into being from semen, but all the 69 II, 1 | Everything that comes into being or is made must (1) be made 70 II, 1 | of which things come into being, but we now are inquiring 71 II, 1 | exists in the embryo itself, being either a part of it or separate 72 II, 1 | all the rest, come into being together or in succession, 73 II, 1 | that an animal comes into being in the same way as the knitting 74 II, 1 | is not because of their being too small that they are 75 II, 1 | rather does the one come into being only after the other?

And just as we 82 II, 1 | of the soul’s coming into being, but it is the first moving 83 II, 1 | though when it has come into being it thenceforward increases 84 II, 1 | only one part comes into being first and not all of them 85 II, 1 | that must first come into being which has a principle of 86 II, 1 | another like itself, that being the function of them all 87 II, 1 | part, this must come into being first. Therefore if the 88 II, 2 | thicker, the watery part in it being separated off by the heat 89 II, 2 | firm and white, the reason being that air is mixed in with 90 II, 2 | it up and makes it float, being the cause of its lightness. 91 II, 3 | they should all come into being in the embryo without existing 92 II, 3 | should either (1) come into being in the material supplied 93 II, 3 | or some must come into being in the male from outside.~ 94 II, 3 | to enter by themselves, being inseparable from a body, 95 II, 3 | principle in the spiritus, being analogous to the element 96 II, 3 | increases (this increase being due to subdivision of the 97 II, 3 | together the parts of animals, being actual sinew in some and 98 II, 3 | like, for these differ in being more or less glutinous and 99 II, 4 | vessels into the uterus, these being unable on account of their 100 II, 4 | for, the female nature being unable to concoct the nourishment 101 II, 4 | another creature may come into being of the same kind as the 102 II, 4 | emission, the earlier discharge being in most cases apt to be 103 II, 4 | on account of there not being much useless and superfluous 104 II, 4 | analogous to the uterus being inserted into the male.~ 105 II, 4 | some think, the os uteri being too narrow, but it is in 106 II, 4 | with hot water, their mouth being turned downwards, draw water 107 II, 4 | milk and the catamenia being of the same nature)—when, 108 II, 4 | others choria, the difference being one of more or less, and 109 II, 4 | perfected to the point of being now an animal potentially 110 II, 4 | which first comes into being, already contains blood, 111 II, 4 | parts ought to come into being each one separate from the 112 II, 4 | each of them comes into being is that the secretion of 113 II, 4 | and each thing comes into being in accordance with a certain 114 II, 5 | potentiality.

The 118 II, 6 | of them do not come into being before them. First the parts 119 II, 6 | quantitative differentia comes into being, pre-existing potentially 120 II, 6 | pre-existing potentially but being actualized later by the 121 II, 6 | former acting and the latter being acted upon.~Some of the 122 II, 6 | state which part comes into being after which, but were not 123 II, 6 | be the first to come into being—first, that is, considered 124 II, 6 | is to bring others into being must always themselves exist 125 II, 6 | beginnings must come into being later. So it is not easy 126 II, 6 | which cause the movement, being prior to the end in order 127 II, 6 | inquire what comes into being after what; for the end 128 II, 6 | first principle comes into being first, next to this the 129 II, 6 | those things which come into being the principles are more 130 II, 6 | flesh or its analogues, being solidified by cold, which 131 II, 6 | because what is glutinous, being unable to evaporate, remains 132 II, 6 | which points to the skin being formed out of such a glutinous 133 II, 6 | with and actually come into being later, but the eye is the 134 II, 6 | children. The cause of this being so with men more than with 135 II, 6 | question how the eyes come into being, and why and for what cause 136 II, 6 | the natural nourishment, being the same as that of the 137 II, 6 | former is "nutritious", being that which gives its essence 138 II, 6 | is concerned with growth, being that which causes quantitative 139 II, 6 | teeth, their growth not being in proportion to their detrition. 140 II, 6 | The latter all come into being in the first formation of 141 II, 7 | is comparatively small, being unable to receive much nutriment, 142 II, 7 | sometimes on account of the body being too well nourished (for 143 II, 7 | of it is watery (the heat being acquired later).

As for embryos being formed in fish also (though 159 III, 1 | catamenia (for the uterus being heated attracts the moisture 160 III, 1 | wind-eggs as not coming into being independently but as mere 161 III, 1 | of the animal coming into being, that is the hot part; the 162 III, 1 | comes the nutriment, the one being white and the other yellow, 163 III, 2 | first; the reason of this being what has been stated, that 164 III, 2 | has been said, comes into being by the incubation of the 165 III, 2 | this is the cause of their being spoilt), so is it with the 166 III, 2 | practically always, for being of a hot nature they make 167 III, 2 | becomes solid. Therefore being concocted in the development 168 III, 2 | separated by membranes, as being different in nature. The 169 III, 2 | because the nourishment, being of a material character 170 III, 2 | growth and nourishment by being attached to something else.~ 171 III, 3 | and dry its circumference, being colder than birds), the 172 III, 3 | the corresponding matter being completely mixed, so that 173 III, 3 | stop the first principle being at the opposite end, for 174 III, 3 | from this, and as it is being consumed the flesh in like 175 III, 4 | has taken away in number being added in size.~So much for 176 III, 5 | and seldom, impregnation being generally required, so we 177 III, 5 | even if they come into being by impregnation, and here 178 III, 5 | no such animal comes into being.~What helps in the deception 179 III, 6 | only one pudendum, there being no lack of opportunity for 180 III, 7 | neither has it come into being simply like a real plant 181 III, 8 | spherical, the cleavage being obscure when it is filled 182 III, 9 | and those which come into being spontaneously and not from 183 III, 9 | insects which come into being without copulation in wool 184 III, 9 | those which are not aquatic being winged.~Another point is 185 III, 9 | but after this comes into being the so-called nymph.... 186 III, 9 | And some of them come into being by copulation, like birds 187 III, 10| bees ought to come into being also, if the bees did not 188 III, 10| drones is found coming into being among them even if there 189 III, 10| is not found to come into being if the leaders are not among 190 III, 10| drones are found to come into being even if no leaders are present, 191 III, 10| drones without copulation, being indeed female in respect 192 III, 10| drones, if they come into being without copulation, then 193 III, 10| been found to come into being among them without the presence 194 III, 10| in that of the bees, for being smaller in size they need 195 III, 10| right also that the kings, being as it were made with a view 196 III, 10| considerable size, their bodies being, as it were, constituted 197 III, 10| the kings to do no work as being their parents, they punish 198 III, 10| The fact that the leaders, being few, generate the bees in 199 III, 11| they appear to come into being from semen, but in another 200 III, 11| kinds of testacea come into being on land, e.g. the snails 201 III, 11| rivers that they come into being, as testacea and cephalopoda 202 III, 11| and crustacea, all these being bloodless and of a cold 203 III, 11| these also often come into being from a spontaneous formation. 204 III, 11| same kind should come into being from this also.~All those 205 III, 11| water, manifestly come into being in connexion with putrefaction 206 III, 11| form. Nothing comes into being by putrefying, but by concocting; 207 III, 11| For nothing comes into being out of the whole of anything, 208 III, 11| Animals and plants come into being in earth and in liquid because 209 III, 11| enclosed, the corporeal liquids being heated, there arises as 210 III, 11| which contains the life being included within it.~The 211 III, 11| earth", in which comes into being the body of the eel, have 212 III, 11| some say, they came into being in one of two ways; that 213 III, 11| as these. They come into being on the side of boats when 214 III, 11| of oyster, have come into being when the spot turned muddy 215 III, 11| disappear altogether; the reason being that the spring is favourable 216 III, 11| spring is favourable to their being in good condition. In others 217 III, 11| in which they come into being, must be learnt from the 218 IV, 1 | cause of the heat or cold being the flow of the catamenia, 219 IV, 1 | embryo are "sundered", some being in the male and some in 220 IV, 1 | that they should come into being in the embryo on account 221 IV, 1 | these parts should come into being as something isolated, without 222 IV, 1 | nothing to stop another from being a male with a uterus! Besides 223 IV, 1 | out of which comes into being an offspring resembling 224 IV, 1 | terms "able" and "unable" being used in more senses than 225 IV, 1 | Hence each region comes into being along with the secretions 226 IV, 1 | intestine and bladder come into being along with the faculty of 227 IV, 1 | which an organ comes into being and that by which it is 228 IV, 1 | its ultimate stage, this being called blood in the sanguinea 229 IV, 1 | is of such a nature, this being the part by which the female 230 IV, 2 | all things that come into being as products of art or of 231 IV, 3 | while others do not; some being like the father and others 232 IV, 3 | any rate resemble a human being, but others are not even 233 IV, 3 | are not even like a human being but a monstrosity. For even 234 IV, 3 | race, i.e. it is a human being. The reason of this is that 235 IV, 3 | characteristics; "human being" is the general term, while 236 IV, 3 | unconcocted humour or wind being diverted into parts of the 237 IV, 3 | other way about, females being similar to the father and 238 IV, 3 | these but still a human being, but sometimes, (5) proceeding 239 IV, 3 | finally to be not even a human being but only some kind of animal, 240 IV, 3 | sheep, dog, and ox, it being impossible for each to be 241 IV, 3 | of the cause of animals being born defective in any part, 242 IV, 4 | white, their nourishment being drawn from the yolk, whereas 243 IV, 4 | the lower part comes into being later and its nourishment 244 IV, 4 | reason, this class also being oviparous and producing 245 IV, 4 | young of these creatures being generally blind. Why this 246 IV, 4 | that what they generate, being imperfect, is so far unlike 247 IV, 4 | but we speak of things being contrary to her in those 248 IV, 4 | generative parts doubled, the one being male, the other female; 249 IV, 4 | is a case also of a goat being born with a horn upon its 250 IV, 4 | but there are cases of its being incomplete. And all these 251 IV, 4 | changing places, the liver being on the left, the spleen 252 IV, 4 | cause of few or many young being born, not the fact that 253 IV, 4 | emitted by the male has power, being divided, to form several 254 IV, 4 | cleft there may come into being more than one such part, 255 IV, 4 | systems or eddies come into being out of one, each retaining 256 IV, 4 | supplied with nourishment as being contrary to Nature; it is 257 IV, 4 | movements which form the embryo being diverted and the material 258 IV, 4 | animal, the multiplied parts being mere outgrowths, but those 259 IV, 5 | sort of superfoetation, one being added to another. Of these 260 IV, 5 | for one embryo, and this being divided causes more than 261 IV, 5 | in the testes but is not being got rid of. For the discharge 262 IV, 5 | emission of semen, they being unconcocted semen as has 263 IV, 5 | for, the seminal secretion being then drained off, they no 264 IV, 6 | good condition of its body, being like a rich soil—which has 265 IV, 6 | the female character as being a sort of natural deficiency. 266 IV, 6 | responsible for this, for being sedentary they are full 267 IV, 6 | which hinder nourishment are being consumed by the foetus the 268 IV, 7 | the so-called mola into being, and this happens naturally 269 IV, 8 | expect to happen also as being due to a necessary cause. 270 IV, 8 | increasing its growth, it being now fixed because it has 271 IV, 8 | question but yet prevents its being discharged from the mother, 272 IV, 8 | view also that the embryo being larger takes more nourishment, 273 IV, 8 | month the milk comes into being, a white pus", for putrefaction 274 IV, 9 | those below. The body then, being suspended from the cord 275 IV, 10| life in any animal is its being tempered in a manner resembling 276 IV, 10| the length of life aims at being measured by naturally complete 277 IV, 10| that of the sun [the month being a period common to both].~ 278 IV, 10| participation in his light, being as it were a second smaller 279 IV, 10| make things to come into being and after this to perish, 280 IV, 10| measure the coming into being and the end of animals by 281 IV, 10| generation and decay from being according to Nature, and 282 V, 1 | essence of the animal’s being, but we must refer the causes 283 V, 1 | that these things come into being by Necessity. For, as was 284 V, 1 | development attends upon Being and is for the sake of Being, 285 V, 1 | Being and is for the sake of Being, not vice versa.~The ancient 286 V, 1 | in themselves, come into being both through this cause 287 V, 1 | those things which come into being without falling under the 288 V, 1 | or process of coming into being, on the view that the differences 289 V, 1 | way.~These distinctions being drawn let us speak of what 290 V, 1 | Moreover the change from not being to being must pass through 291 V, 1 | change from not being to being must pass through the intermediate 292 V, 1 | nature such a condition, being as it were a boundary between 293 V, 1 | living, and the sleeper being neither altogether non-existent 294 V, 1 | owing to previous habit, being as it were without knowledge 295 V, 1 | already existing in the eye, being strong, stops that from 296 V, 1 | The cause of some animals being keen-sighted and others 297 V, 2 | caused by means of the voice, being as it were of one and the 298 V, 2 | keen-scented, for the sense-organ being above them, the movements 299 V, 3 | is of an earthy nature; being on the surface of the body 300 V, 3 | The cause of the hairs being long or short depends on 301 V, 3 | evaporating moisture not being easily dried.
