Τὰ μὲν οὖν πρὸ τῆς γενέσεως καὶ τὰ κατ’ αὐτὴν τὴν γένεσιν δυνάμενα θεωρεῖσθαι καὶ ἔτι τῶν μετὰ τὴν γέ- νεσιν, ὅσα τῆς συστάσεως ἐστιν ἴδια τὸ καθόλου ποῖον τῶν συγκριμάτων ἐμφαίνοντα, σχεδὸν ταῦτα ἂν εἴη· τῶν δὲ κατὰ τὸ ἐκτὸς συμβεβηκότων καὶ ἐφεξῆς ὀφειλόντων διαλαμβάνεσθαι προηγεῖται μὲν ὁ περὶ τυχῆς κτητικῆς τε καὶ ἀξιωματικῆς λόγος, συνῆπται δ' ὥσπερ ἡ μὲν κτητικὴ ταῖς τοῦ σώματος οἰκειώσεσιν, ἡ δὲ ἀξιωματικὴ ταῖς τῆς ψυχῆς·
