Глава LVI. Об имении ( του εχειν )

Possession occurs when one substance possesses another. It means that one thing embraces or is encompassed by, but does not form part of, the object. Encompasses the tunic, weapons and the like; encloses a ring and anything similar other insignificant. Both the volumetric and the encompassing must be substances, since if one is a substance and the other an accident, for example, science and a scientist, then they can no longer be subsumed under the category of possession. The differences inherent in the category of possession correspond to the differences in existence. The latter can be either animate or inanimate, and by possession we mean the possession of animate objects, for example, a son, a horse, etc., and the possession of inanimate objects, for example, a ring, sandals, etc. The name is used homonymously and in many other meanings, which we will talk about later.
