ARISTOTLE 



657 a 4 η των μνκτηρων δνναμί$ διφυι^?. 

 This is paralleled by a similar usage of φνα-ΐζ i 



663 a 34 η των κέρατων φι'σΐϊ. 

 676 b 11 η των ίντζρων φνσι.'ζ. 



(Other references for δΰι/α /xis : 640 a 24, 646 a 14, 

 b 17, 650 a 5, 651 b 21, 652 b 8, 12, 653 a 2, 655 b 12, 

 658 b 34. See further Gen. An., Loeb edn., Introd. 

 §§ 23 if.). 



To vypov KOI Th ξηρόν, " fluid substance and solid 

 substance," " the fluid and the sohd." 



These are two of the δννάμ^ί';. 



Following Ogle, I use these renderings as being 

 more in conformity with the definitions given by 

 Aristotle than " the moist and the dry," Avhich have 

 often been used. Actually neither pair of Enghsh 

 words quite expresses the Greek. Aristotle's de- 

 finition of them (at De gen. et corr. 329 b 30) is this : 



" vypov is that which is not limited by any hmit of 

 its own but can be readily Umited, ξ7]ρόν is that 

 which is readily limited by a limit of its ΟΛνη but can 

 with difficulty be hmited " — i.e. of course by a Umit 

 imposed from ■without. 



He discusses the various senses in which these 

 terms are used at 649 b 9 following. 



Τίερίττωμα, " residue." 



This term I have translated throughout " residue,"
