Chapter 54

The category of place indicates place. Thus, upon being asked where so-and-so is, we reply that he is in the house or in the city, and that indicates place. The species of the category of place correspond to the differences of places, which are: up, down, right, left, before, and behind.

[41] {Περὶ τῆς ποῦ.} Τὸ ποῦ τόπον σημαίνει: ἐρωτώμενοι γὰρ ‘ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ δεῖνα’ φαμὲν ‘ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, ἐν τῇ πόλει’: ταῦτα δὲ τόπον σημαίνουσιν. Εἴδη δὲ τῆς ποῦ κατηγορίας κατὰ τὰς διαφορὰς τῶν τόπων ἄνω, κάτω, δεξιά, ἀριστερά, ἔμπροσθεν, ὄπισθεν.
