  1   I,  3 |         For in the whole range of time past, so far as our inherited
  2   I,  3 |        always" for an eternity of time. Anaxagoras, however, scandalously
  3   I,  5 |           Again, if from a finite time a finite time be subtracted,
  4   I,  5 |       from a finite time a finite time be subtracted, what remains
  5   I,  5 |           a beginning. And if the time of a journey has a beginning,
  6   I,  5 |        continuously for a certain time. This will be a finite time,
  7   I,  5 |       time. This will be a finite time, since the total time is
  8   I,  5 |      finite time, since the total time is finite in which the heavens
  9   I,  5 |       orbit, and consequently the time subtracted from it, during
 10   I,  5 |           ACE began for the first time to cut BB. This, however,
 11   I,  5 |         infinite line in a finite time. Infinite time, then, would
 12   I,  5 |           a finite time. Infinite time, then, would be required. (
 13   I,  5 |        one is. If, therefore, the time which the finite moving
 14   I,  5 |    infinite, then necessarily the time occupied by the motion of
 15   I,  5 |          must take an infinity of time. Moreover the heavens certainly
 16   I,  5 |        circular orbit in a finite time; so that they pass round
 17   I,  5 |         to admit that in a finite time it has traversed the infinite.
 18   I,  5 |       equal to itself in a finite time. But that we know to be
 19   I,  5 |           conversely, that if the time of revolution is finite,
 20   I,  6 |         given distance in a given time; a weight which is as great
 21   I,  6 |           same distance in a less time, the times being in inverse
 22   I,  6 |       finite distance in a finite time. It necessarily follows
 23   I,  6 |            compelled to move in a time inversely proportionate
 24   I,  6 |           cannot move at all. The time should be less in proportion
 25   I,  6 |         less and a greater finite time. And though you may say
 26   I,  6 |       though you may say that the time of the movement can be continually
 27   I,  6 |           equal distance in equal time. But that is impossible.
 28   I,  6 |   impossible. Again, whatever the time, so long as it is finite,
 29   I,  6 |      finite distance in that same time. Infinite weight is therefore
 30   I,  7 |       infinite, B a finite, C the time of a given movement produced
 31   I,  7 |      movement whatever, by in the time C. Let D be less than B;
 32   I,  7 |        lesser patient in an equal time, call the quantity thus
 33   I,  7 |        equal by equal takes equal time, and the alteration of less
 34   I,  7 |         by greater takes the same time, if the quantity of the
 35   I,  7 |           any finite agent in any time whatever. For a less agent
 36   I,  7 |          less patient in an equal time, and the proportionate equivalent
 37   I,  7 |     movement in the finite in any time whatever. Let A be an infinite,
 38   I,  7 |       infinite, B a finite, C the time of action. In the time C,
 39   I,  7 |        the time of action. In the time C, D will produce that motion
 40   I,  7 |           the motion in BF in the time C. Thus the finite and infinite
 41   I,  7 |           effects it in a shorter time. It will be the same with
 42   I,  7 |         will be the same with any time that can be taken, so that
 43   I,  7 |      taken, so that there will no time in which the infinite can
 44   I,  7 |     movement. And, as to infinite time, in that nothing can move
 45   I,  7 |          be moved by it. For such time has no limit, while the
 46   I,  7 |           infinites, CD being the time of the action A of upon
 47   I,  7 |         was modified in a certain time, and the part of this infinite,
 48   I,  7 |           so modified in the same time, since we assume that a
 49   I,  7 |      makes the movement in a less time. Let E then, when acted
 50   I,  7 |      complete the movement in the time D. Then, as D is to CD,
 51   I,  7 |  necessarily be moved by A in the time CD. For we suppose that
 52   I,  7 |           There is thus no finite time in which infinites can move
 53   I,  7 |        move one another. Is their time then infinite? No, for infinite
 54   I,  7 |        infinite? No, for infinite time has no end, but the movement
 55   I,  9 |          also no place or void or time outside the heaven. For
 56   I,  9 |          actual, is possible; and time is the number of movement.
 57   I,  9 |      neither place, nor void, nor time, outside the heaven. Hence
 58   I,  9 |        occupy any place, nor does time age it; nor is there any
 59   I,  9 |     fulfilment which includes all time and infinity, is "duration"-
 60   I,  10|       thing cannot be at the same time both ordered and unordered;
 61   I,  10|          a process and a lapse of time separating the two states.
 62   I,  11|         be, or which will at some time not be, though it now is.
 63   I,  11|           destructible, because a time will come when it will not
 64   I,  11|      destroyed, i.e. exist at one time and not at another. And "
 65   I,  12|          be some definite maximum time of their being and not being;
 66   I,  12|      their being and not being; a time, I mean, during which continued
 67   I,  12|         is possible to them and a time during which continued nonexistence
 68   I,  12|    whatever it may be. For if the time is not definite in quantity,
 69   I,  12|       thing to exist for infinite time and not to exist for another
 70   I,  12|       stand, only that at another time he can do the other also.
 71   I,  12|          a thing has for infinite time more than one capacity,
 72   I,  12|        than one capacity, another time is impossible and the times
 73   I,  12|         which exists for infinite time is destructible, it will
 74   I,  12|         if it exists for infinite time let this capacity be actualized;
 75   I,  12|           have the power for some time of not being. For as that
 76   I,  12|         is capable at some future time of not being, is destructible,
 77   I,  12|      which always is, there is no time for such a capacity of not
 78   I,  12|       being, whether the supposed time is finite or infinite; for
 79   I,  12|           must include the finite time since it covers infinite
 80   I,  12|          since it covers infinite time.~It is therefore impossible
 81   I,  12|         could not at any previous time have been truly said not
 82   I,  12|          and cannot at any future time be truly said not to be.)
 83   I,  12|          not being for a definite time: in either case, I mean,
 84   I,  12|      there is a certain period of time during which the thing is
 85   I,  12|         in their case there is no time in the direction of either
 86   I,  12|    generated there must be such a time either actually or potentially,
 87   I,  12|           for a limited length of time, and this is true also of
 88   I,  12|       definitely limited space of time; and the infinite time is
 89   I,  12|         of time; and the infinite time is only a possible alternative
 90   I,  12|           defined, as a length of time which cannot be exceeded.
 91   I,  12|           existed for an infinite time. It has therefore for an
 92   I,  12|         therefore for an infinite time the capacity of not being (
 93   I,  12|           if destructible, in the time before destruction, if generated,
 94   I,  12| destruction, if generated, in the time after generation. If then
 95   I,  12|         will have for an infinite time the capacity both of being
 96   I,  12|           will be present for all time, even while the thing was
 97   I,  12|           throughout the infinite time in which it was capable
 98   I,  12|          being generated. At that time, then, when it was not,
 99   I,  12|          it was not, at that same time it had the capacity of being,
100   I,  12|      therefore for an infinity of time.~It is clear also on other
101   I,  12|   destructible should not at some time be destroyed. For otherwise
102   I,  12|       that it will be at the same time capable of always existing
103   I,  12|           destructible is at some time actually destroyed. The
104   I,  12|       anything which exists for a time infinite either absolutely
105   I,  12|           such as to exist at one time and not at another. But
106   I,  12|          not of not existing at a time when it exists-since then
107  II,  1 |         in itself the infinity of time, we may convince ourselves
108  II,  1 |           through the infinity of time, and of other movements,
109  II,  1 |         from destruction all this time. Nor, again, is it conceivable
110  II,  6 |        whither nor middle: for in time it is eternal, and in length
111  II,  6 |     before now in the infinity of time, as one moved slower and
112  II,  6 |        incapacity for an infinite time, and capacity afterwards
113  II,  6 |      continues for an infinity of time; nor does the unnatural
114  II,  6 |          retarded for an infinite time. Equally impossible is perpetual
115  II,  6 |     suppose one assumes a minimum time in less than which the heaven
116  II,  6 |         cannot take any and every time, but every performance has
117  II,  6 |          has its definite minimum time which is unsurpassable,
118  II,  6 |        completed in any and every time. But in that case perpetual
119  II,  6 |         speed and for an infinite time. The remaining alternative
120  II,  8 |       circle should take the same time as that of the smaller.
121  II,  10|           should take the longest time to complete its circle,
122  II,  10|        the others taking a longer time the nearer they are and
123  II,  10|     nearer they are and a shorter time the farther away they are.
124  II,  13|   contrary directions at the same time was impossible: so it must
125 III,  1 |          consideration is that if time is similarly constituted,
126 III,  1 |          would be, or might be, a time at which it was done away
127 III,  2 |           possess for most of the time. Thus their view brings
128 III,  2 |           CD, while B in the same time moves the distance CE, which
129 III,  2 |         the part must in the same time move the distance CD. A
130 III,  2 |      weight, be moved in the same time the distance CD. Dividing
131 III,  2 |       part which will in the same time move the distance CE, since
