Глава LX. О том, что вместе

In its proper sense, the word “together” (αμα) is applied to those objects whose origin dates back to the same time, for example, two people were born at the same moment. In this sense, “together” is the opposite of the first meaning of the previous one. The second meaning of the word “together” is applied to such objects that exist together with each other, but are not one another’s cause and effect, for example, double and half, for they exist together with each other and presuppose each other. In this sense, “together” is the opposite of the second and fifth meanings of the previous one. In fact, with the second meaning of the previous, the previous and the subsequent do not presuppose and do not eliminate each other together; with the fifth, the first is the cause, and the second its effect. In its third meaning, the word “together” is applied to species that are in opposition to each other. Those species that are in a relation of opposition are those that originate from the same division, for example, the rational and the irrational originate from the division of an animal. “Together” in this meaning is the opposite of the first, second and to some extent the other three meanings of the previous one.
