|''Sed quoniam ens simpliciter'' dictum dicitur multipliciter, quorum unum quidem erat quod secundum accidens, et aliud quod ut verum et non ens ut falsum, praeter haec autem sunt {{bk|1026a35}} figure cathegorie (ut quid, quale, quantum, ubi, quando, et si quid aliud significat hoc modo), amplius praeter haec omnia quod {{bk|1026b1}} * potestate et actu:

|'''Chapter 2'''. But since the unqualified term ''being'' has several meanings, of which one was seen to be the accidental, and another the true ( ''non-being'' being the false), while besides these there are the figures of predication (e.g. the ''what'' , quality, quantity, place, time, and any similar meanings which ''being'' ['''26b'''] may have), and again besides all these there is that which ''is'' potentially or actually:

|- valign = top
|''quoniam itaque multipliciter dicitur ens'', primum de eo quod secundum accidens est dicendum, quia nulla est circa id speculatio. Signum autem: nulla enim scientia studiosa est de eo, neque activa neque factiva nec theorica. {{bk|1026b5}} non enim faciens domum facit quaecumque accidunt simul {{p|128}} domui facte; infinita enim sunt: hiis quidem enim voluptuosam illis autem nocivam aliis autem utilem nihil esse prohibet factam, et alteram ut est dicere ab omnibus entibus; quorum {{bk|1026b10}} nullius est edificativa factiva. Eodem vero modo nec geometer speculatur sic accidentia figuris, nec si alterum est trigonum et trigonum duos rectos habens.

|since ''being'' has many meanings, we must say regarding the accidental, that there can be no scientific treatment of it. This is confirmed by the fact that no science practical, productive, or theoretical troubles itself about it. For on the one hand he who produces a house does not produce all the attributes that come into being along with the house; for these are innumerable; the house that has been made may quite well be pleasant for some people, hurtful for some, and useful to others, and different – to put it shortly from all things that are; and the science of building does not aim at producing any of these attributes. And in the same way the geometer does not consider the attributes which attach thus to figures, nor whether ''triangle'' is different from triangle whose angles are equal to two right angles.

|- valign = top
|''Et hoc'' rationabiliter concidit; quemadmodum enim nomine solum accidens est.

|And this happens naturally enough; for the accidental is practically a mere name.

|- valign = top
|Unde {{bk|1026b15}} Plato modo quodam non male sophisticam circa non ens ordinavit. Sunt enim sophistarum rationes circa accidens ut est dicere maxime omnium: utrum diversum an idem musicum et gramaticum, et musicus Coriscus et Coriscus, et si omne quod est et non semper, factum est, quare si musicus ens gra{{bk|1026b20}}maticus est factus, et gramaticus ens * musicus, et quaecumque aliae rationum tales sunt; videtur enim accidens propinquum quid non enti.

|And so Plato was in a sense not wrong in ranking sophistic as dealing with that which is not. For the arguments of the sophists deal, we may say, above all with the accidental; e.g. the question whether ''musical'' and ''lettered'' are different or the same, and whether ''musical Coriscus'' and ''Coriscus'' are the same, and whether "everything which is, but is not eternal, has come to be", with the paradoxical conclusion that if one who was musical has come to be lettered, he must also have been lettered and have come to be musical, and all the other arguments of this sort; the accidental is obviously akin to non-being.

|- valign = top
|Palam autem et ex huiusmodi rationibus: nam alio modo entium generatio est et corruptio, eorum vero quae sunt secundum accidens non est.

|And this is clear also from arguments such as the following: things which are in another sense come into being and pass out of being by a process, but things which are accidentally do not.

|- valign = top
|''At tamen dicendum est'' {{bk|1026b25}} amplius de accidente in quantum contingit, quae eius natura et propter quam causam est; simul enim forsan palam erit et quare eius non est scientia.

|But still we must, as far as we can, say further, regarding the accidental, what its nature is and from what cause it proceeds; for it will perhaps at the same time become clear why there is no science of it.

|- valign = top
|''Quoniam igitur'' sunt in entibus haec quidem semper similiter se habentia et ex necessitate, * non secundum vim dicta sed {{bk|1026b30}} quam dicimus in non contingere aliter, illa vero ex necessitate quidem non sunt nec semper, sed quasi secundum magis, hoc principium et haec causa est eius quod est accidens esse;

|Since, among things which are, some are always in the same state and are of necessity (not necessity in the sense of compulsion but that which we assert of things because they cannot be otherwise), and some are not of necessity nor always, but for the most part, this is the principle and this the cause of the existence of the accidental;

|for that which is neither always nor for the most part, we call accidental. For instance, if in the dog-days there is wintry and cold weather, we say this is an accident, but not if there is sultry heat, because the latter is always or for the most part so, but not the former. And it is an accident that a man is pale (for this is neither always nor for the most part so), but it is not by accident that he is an animal. And ['''27a'''] that the builder produces health is an accident, because it is the nature not of the builder but of the doctor to do this, – but the builder happened to be a doctor. Again, a confectioner, aiming at giving pleasure, may make something wholesome, but not in virtue of the confectioner's art; and therefore we say ''it was an accident'' , and while there is a sense in which he makes it, in the unqualified sense he does not. For to other things answer faculties productive of them, but to accidental results there corresponds no determinate art nor faculty; for of things which are or come to be by accident, the cause also is accidental.
