καὶ ἔστιν ὑπόστασις τοῖς ζώοις τοῖς γεγενημένοις ἐν εἴδεσι τοῦτο τὸ ἀνείδεον ζῷον καὶ τῶν γεγενημένων οὐδέν. ἔστι γὰρ ἄνθρωπος ζῷον ἀπ᾿ ἐκείνου τοῦ ζῴου λαμβάνον τὴν ἀρχήν, καὶ ζῷον ἵππος ἀπ’ ἐκείνου τοῦ ζῴου λαμβάνον τὴν ἀρχήν. ὁ ἵππος καὶ βοῦς καὶ κύων καὶ τῶν ἄλλων ζῴων ἕκαστον ἀπὸ τοῦ ζῴου τοῦ ἁπλοῦ λαμβάνει τὴν ἀρχήν, ὅ ἐστι τούτων οὐδὲ ἕν.
