" i.e. the same relation as the forearm has to the elbow, 



* i.e. the end of the stick where it meets the hand. 



* i.e. the origin of the movement of the hand which is 

 situated in the wrist. 



** It is impossible to find a word in English which covers 

 the double meaning given to apxn here and in the previous line 

 (see note on 698 b 1). The sentence /cat 70,^x6^1^X01' . . . x"/"^ 

 explains why the apxh Kivrjaecos of the hand is called rj Mpa 

 oiPXVi viz. that there is another dpxv (in the sense of " be- 

 ginning") in the stick, namely, the point nearest the hand.
