hor's intention may be
gathered from his examples. And when Aristotle's examples are ranged
in a table, certain principles of subdivision leap to the eyes.
Thus:--

Substance Man } COMMON { Substance
([Greek: ousia]) ([Greek: anthropos]) } NOUN {
(_Substantia_)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Quantity Five-feet-five } {
([Greek: poson]) ([Greek: tripechu]) } {
(_Quantitas_) } {
Quality Scholarly } { Permanent
([Greek: poion]) ([Greek: grammatikon])} ADJECTIVE { Attribute
(_Qualitas_) } {
Relation Bigger } {
([Greek: pros ti]) ([Greek: meizon]) } {
(_Relatio_) } {
--------------------------------------------------------------
Place In-the-Lyceum } {
([Greek: pou]) ([Greek: en Lykeio]) } {
(_Ubi_) } ADVERB { Temporary
Time Yesterday } { Attribute
([Greek: pote]) ([Greek: chthes]) } {
(_Quando_) } {
--------------------------------------------------------------
Disposition Reclines } {
([Greek: keisthai]) ([Greek: anakeitai]) } {
(_Positio_) } {
Appurtenance Has-shoes-on } {
([Greek: echein]) ([Greek: hypodedetai])} {
(_Habitus_) } VERB {
Action Cuts } { Temporary
([Greek: poiein]) ([Greek: temnei]) } { Attribute
(_Actio_) } {
Passion Is cut } {
([Greek: paschein]) ([Greek: temnetai]) } {
(_Passio_) } {

In looking at the examples, our first impression is that Aristotle has
fallen into a confusion. He professes to classify words out of syntax,
yet he gives words with the marks of syntax on them. Thus his division
is accidentally grammatical, a division of parts of speech, parts of
a sentence, into Nouns, Adjectives, Adverbs,
