Chapter 46

Being is divided into substance and accident, not as genus into species, but as an equivocal term, or as those things which are derivative and relative.

Chapter 47

Substance is a most general genus. It is divided into corporeal and incorporeal.

The corporeal is divided into animate and inanimate.

The animate is divided into sentient, or animal, zoophyte, and non-sentient, or plant.

The animal is divided into rational and irrational.

The rational is divided into mortal and immortal.

The mortal is divided into man, ox, horse, dog, and the like.

Man is divided into Peter, Paul, and all other individual men. These are individuals, hypostases, and persons.

[32] {Διαίρεσις τοῦ ὄντος καὶ τῆς οὐσίας.} Τὸ ὂν διαιρεῖται εἰς οὐσίαν καὶ συμβεβηκός, οὐχ ὡς γένος εἰς εἴδη ἀλλ' ὡς ὁμώνυμος φωνὴ ἢ ὡς τὰ ἀφ' ἑνὸς καὶ πρὸς ἕν. Ἡ οὐσία γενικώτατον γένος ἐστίν: αὕτη διαιρεῖται εἰς σῶμα καὶ ἀσώματον, τὸ σῶμα εἰς ἔμψυχον καὶ ἄψυχον, τὸ ἔμψυχον εἰς αἰσθητικὸν καὶ ἀναίσθητον (ζῷον, ζωόφυτον καὶ φυτόν), τὸ ζῷον εἰς λογικὸν καὶ ἄλογον, τὸ λογικὸν εἰς θνητὸν καὶ ἀθάνατον, τὸ θνητὸν εἰς ἄνθρωπον, βοῦν καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα, ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰς Πέτρον, Παῦλον καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς κατὰ μέρος ἀνθρώπους, οἵτινές εἰσιν ἄτομα καὶ ὑποστάσεις καὶ πρόσωπα.
