1 I, 2 | proceed. For to suppose that a body (i.e. a magnitude) is divisible 2 I, 2 | What will there be in the body which escapes the division?~ 3 I, 2 | principle will apply whenever a body is by nature divisible through 4 I, 2 | whereas ex hypothesis the body was divisible through and 5 I, 2 | admitted that neither a body nor a magnitude will remain, 6 I, 2 | the constituents of the body will either be points (i.e. 7 I, 2 | thus presumably the whole body will be nothing but an appearance. 8 I, 2 | bigger (since, when the body was divided into two or 9 I, 2 | But suppose that, as the body is being divided, a minute 10 I, 2 | and that in this sense-a body "comes away" from the magnitude, 11 I, 2 | what "came away" was not a body but a separable form or 12 I, 2 | supposition that any and every body, whatever its size, is divisible 13 I, 2 | paradoxical that every perceptible body should be indivisible as 14 I, 2 | seem to be impossible for a body to be, even potentially, 15 I, 2 | the result, not that the body would simultaneously be 16 I, 2 | nothing will remain and the body will have passed-away into 17 I, 2 | now it is obvious that a body is in fact divided into 18 I, 2 | the process of dividing a body part by part is not a "breaking 19 I, 2 | ad infinitum; nor can a body be simultaneously divided 20 I, 2 | respectively-is that a body must contain atomic magnitudes 21 I, 4 | or as intermediates. The body, e.g. although persisting 22 I, 4 | although persisting as the same body, is now healthy and now 23 I, 5 | Are we to suppose that body and magnitude come-to-be 24 I, 5 | potentially magnitude and body, is actually incorporeal 25 I, 5 | but contained in another body?~Perhaps it is impossible 26 I, 5 | i.e. a non-perceptible body. But the first of these 27 I, 5 | contained in some other body. But if it is to be "in" 28 I, 5 | it is to be "in" another body and yet remains "separate" 29 I, 5 | no sense a part of that body (neither a part of its substantial 30 I, 5 | one with the "containing" body, though isolable from it 31 I, 5 | matter, out of which the body comes-to-be, as points or 32 I, 5 | such-and-such a determinate body, for there is no such thing 33 I, 5 | there is no such thing as body in general), this same matter 34 I, 5 | magnitude: for this would be a body's coming-to-be rather than 35 I, 5 | incorporeal or (b) of a body. Now, if (a) it grows by 36 I, 5 | grows by the accession of a body, there will be two bodies-that 37 I, 5 | passing-away of the contrasted body. It is not a growth of either. 38 I, 5 | which passed-away), e.g. "body", and this grows. The water 39 I, 5 | grown-there has been a growth of "body." Yet this too is impossible. 40 I, 5 | sometimes expand as well as the body that has consumed it (that 41 I, 5 | also (a) that the growing body is not "void" and that yet 42 I, 5 | definition. That is why a body's" nutrition" continues 43 I, 7 | is a law of nature that body is affected by body, flavour 44 I, 7 | that body is affected by body, flavour by flavour, colour 45 I, 8 | the more transparent the body, the more frequent and serial 46 I, 8 | continuous pores all through the body. But this last alternative 47 I, 8 | be nothing solid in the body (nothing beside the pores) 48 I, 8 | superfluous. For if the whole body suffers action under these 49 I, 8 | having no pores at all? The body will be uniformly "full" 50 I, 8 | too minute to admit any body", it is absurd to suppose 51 I, 8 | means anything else than a body's place-whence it clearly 52 I, 8 | clearly follows that to every body there will correspond a 53 I, 8 | ridiculous: for, qua divisible, a body can fall into separate parts.~ 54 I, 9 | So long, indeed, as any body is naturally coherent and 55 I, 9 | suffer action-heats the body.) But the supposition that 56 I, 9 | But the supposition that a body is "susceptible in some 57 I, 9 | or planes-then indeed no body would be susceptible through 58 I, 9 | false, i.e. since every body is divisible, there is no 59 I, 9 | being divisible". For if a body "can be separated at the 60 I, 9 | alteration": but we see the same body liquid at one time and solid 61 I, 10| as "combining" with the body, nor (iii) of the shape 62 I, 10| fashioning the lump. Nor can body "combine" with white, nor ( 63 I, 10| a) persist actually, as "body" and "white" persist: nor ( 64 I, 10| of the other. But every body is divisible and therefore, 65 I, 10| divisible and therefore, since body "combined" with body is 66 I, 10| since body "combined" with body is uniform in texture throughout, 67 I, 10| a part of the other.~No body, however, can be divided 68 II, 1 | between these two (but still a body with a separate existence). 69 II, 1 | separable matter. For this "body" of theirs cannot possibly 70 II, 1 | potentially perceptible body, secondly the contrarieties ( 71 II, 1 | originative sources" of body?

Thus the "simple" body corresponding to fire is " 76 II, 3 | and Air are forms of the body moving towards the "limit", 77 II, 3 | and Water are forms of the body which moves towards the " 78 II, 4 | the pair: but no "simple" body can be formed either out 79 II, 4 | qualities. Thus no "simple" body would result, if the dry 80 II, 5 | beside these four, some other body from which they originate-a 81 II, 6 | Empedocles that the "elements" of body are more than one, so that 82 II, 8 | Earth because every "simple" body is to be found specially 83 II, 10| continuous, there must be some body always being moved (in order 84 II, 10| retreating of the moving body are caused by the inclination. 85 II, 10| inclination is that the body becomes alternately remote 86 II, 10| continuous movement, viz. the body which is being moved in 87 II, 11| For since the revolving body is always setting something
