1 I, 1 | proper sense of the term is "being altered": but those who 2 I, 1 | passing-away are the same as "being altered":" yet, in common 3 I, 1 | alteration"; further, that the being of this matter and the being 4 I, 1 | being of this matter and the being of "alteration" stand and 5 I, 1 | various portions of it being separated off by certain 6 I, 2 | suppose that, as the body is being divided, a minute section-a 7 I, 3 | comes-to-be-small out of being big and big out of being-small, 8 I, 3 | means the negation of "being" in the sense of the primary 9 I, 3 | negation of all forms of being, so that what comes-to-be 10 I, 3 | out of that which has no "being" without qualification: 11 I, 3 | something is spoken of both as "being" and as "not-being".~These 12 I, 3 | the result is first that a being, which is not a determinate 13 I, 3 | which is not a determinate being, is capable of separate 14 I, 3 | and (b) something always being moved. And the accurate 15 I, 3 | everything else in motion by being itself continuously moved", 16 I, 3 | couple-the one of them will be "a being" and the other "a not-being".~ 17 I, 3 | though things are constantly being destroyed. For just as people 18 I, 3 | Fire (i.e. the light) a "being"? Or, on the contrary, does 19 I, 3 | the same: but its actual being is not the same. So much, 20 I, 4 | the properties in question being opposed to one another either 21 I, 4 | such cases, any property (being one of a pair of contraries) 22 I, 5 | growth and "alteration" being changes from what is-potentially 23 I, 5 | does so? For that which is being moved changes its place 24 I, 5 | place like a metal that is being beaten, retaining its position 25 I, 5 | part of its substantial being nor an "accident" of it), 26 I, 5 | to the matter of the air being "contained in" the water 27 I, 5 | indeterminate number of matters being thus "contained in" the 28 I, 5 | the matter is inseparable, being numerically identical and 29 I, 5 | thing and in that which is being "altered": for the efficient 30 I, 5 | different from it in its actual being. For in so far as that which 31 I, 6 | touch one another which, being separate magnitudes and 32 I, 6 | touch one another, which (being separate magnitudes) have 33 I, 6 | can only impart motion by being itself moved, another kind 34 I, 6 | experience impart motion by being moved: in their case, what 35 I, 6 | moved" impart motion by being moved. Hence if anything 36 I, 6 | imparts motion without itself being moved, it may touch the " 37 I, 7 | contrary, even if two things, being "others", do act in some 38 I, 7 | the same kind-the reason being that "contraries" are in 39 I, 7 | action (e.g. of "the man" as being healed, being warmed and 40 I, 7 | the man" as being healed, being warmed and chilled, and 41 I, 7 | we say "what is cold is "being warmed", "what is sick is 42 I, 7 | warmed", "what is sick is being healed": and in both these 43 I, 7 | as that which is true of "being moved" and "imparting motion". 44 I, 7 | prevent the firs; mover being unmoved (indeed, as regards 45 I, 7 | always imparts motion by being itself moved: and, in action, 46 I, 7 | prevent the first agent being unaffected, while the last 47 I, 7 | matter, agent acts without being affected: thus the art of 48 I, 7 | produces health without itself being acted upon in any way by 49 I, 7 | any way by that which is being healed. But (b) the food, 50 I, 8 | is a void with a separate being of its own, "what is" cannot 51 I, 8 | follows: "The void is a "not being", and no part of "what is" 52 I, 8 | and they generate by being put together and becoming 53 I, 8 | of "the hot" - "the hot" being assigned as peculiar to 54 I, 8 | spherical figure: for, that being so, its "contrary" also (" 55 I, 8 | single "indivisible". For, being indivisible, it will possess 56 I, 8 | if it "suffers action" by being chilled, it will also, qua 57 I, 8 | imparting motion" qua this, "being moved" qua that), or (b) 58 I, 9 | remain in contact" and "being divisible". For if a body " 59 I, 9 | only, viz. by the bodies being split. For this theory abolishes " 60 I, 10| combined" since they have no being at all.~What we have in 61 I, 10| part of such a compound being the same as the whole, just 62 I, 10| that is precisely what "being readily adaptable in shape" 63 I, 10| superlatively susceptible, the other being susceptible in a very slight 64 I, 10| be "combined" without its being necessary either that they 65 I, 10| anything is "combinable" which, being readily adaptable in shape, 66 II, 2 | And moise is that which, being readily adaptable in shape, 67 II, 2 | on its surface ("sodden" being that which is penetrated 68 II, 2 | deep within it ("sodden" being that which is deeply penetrated 69 II, 3 | Air is hot and moist (Air being a sort of aqueous vapour); 70 II, 3 | those of the other, Water being contrary to Fire and Earth 71 II, 4 | Water, the first of these being dry and hot, and the second 72 II, 4 | Air and Water, the first being moist and hot, and the second 73 II, 5 | they must be all.
