 8 III,  3|     substance an element is. An element, we take it, is a body into
 9 III,  3|       men in every case mean by element. Now if what we have described
10 III,  3|         we have described is an element, clearly there must be such

12 III,  4|      the composite cannot be an element, not every homoeomerous
13 III,  4|     homoeomerous body can be an element; only, as we said before,
