1 



Sontid IB eternal, 

 Becnufie it ih knowable, 



. Like ether, atid lil'e a pot. 



Here the ' knowable ' (wliich is the rea- 

 son or miV^flle term) nbides in all t^iirige 

 homogeiifous with, aud all things hfi.tero- 

 gonooua from, the * eternar (which is tl»e 



major term*. 



The rensnn or Tntddle term is too general, 



. Truth ifl uiicoi tain.

Sound IS eternal, 

 Bocimse ft is adrentitions, 



Like ether and like a pot. 



Here the * advnnritinus ' (which is the 

 reason or middle term) abides in nothing 

 homogencons with, bnt in nil things hetero- 

 geni'oua from tlie ' eternal * (which is the 

 major term ). 



The reason or middle term is inconsis- 

 tent witii the major term. 



2 



Sonnd ia non-eternnl, 



Because it is adventitions, 



Like a pot and like ether. 



Here the * adventitioas * (which is the 



reason or middl« term ) abides in all thingfl 

 JiornogOMooiis with, but does not abide in any 

 thing hereroi^enooua from the * non-eternal ' 



(which is the mnjor rorm'. 



The reasoning is valid. 



Well!

Sound is non-otcrnal, 



Because it is nudiblo, 

 Like a pot^and like ether. 

 ETere the *andible * (w'lich ia the reason or 

 middle term) aitides in no^/f iui; hf>mogeneou8 



withj and in nothivg heterogeryf^ons fn»m, the

 enough. 



Trnth is uncertain.

 the reason or middle term) abid'-s in some 

 things homogeneous with, but in Nothing 

 heterogeneous^ f rom the 'non-eternal' (which 

 is the mijor term). 



The reasoning is valid. Well \

 the reason or middle term! abides in nothing 

 homoironeons with, bnt in h'ome things hetero- 

 geneous from the 'eternal' ywliich is the 



mnior term). 



The reason or middle term is incon- 

 sistent wtth the major term.
