Chapter 19 Disposition
| Greek | Latin | English |
|---|---|---|
| διάθεσις λέγεται τοῦ ἔχοντος μέρη τάξις ἢ κατὰ τόπον ἢ κατὰ δύναμιν ἢ κατ᾽ εἶδος: θέσιν γὰρ δεῖ τινὰ εἶναι, ὥσπερ καὶ τοὔνομα δηλοῖ ἡ διάθεσις. | ↵ Dispositio dicitur habentis partes ordo aut secundum locum aut secundum potentiam aut secundum speciem; positionem enim oportet quandam esse, sicut et ipsum hoc nomen ostendit dispositio. | Chapter 19. [22b] Disposition means the arrangement of that which has parts, in respect either of place or of potency or of kind; for there must be a certain position, as even the word disposition shows. |
