Bodily place is the limit of that which contains,
by which that which is contained is contained Arist.,
Physic, bk. iv. 4.: for example, the air contains but
the body is contained Text, οἷον ὁ ἀ&
209·ρ περιέχει,
τὸ δὲ σῶμα
περιέχεται·
οὐχ ὅλος δε ὁ
περιέχων ἀ&
208·ρ, &c. Variant, οἷον ὁ ἀ& 209·ρ
περιέχει
τόδε σῶμα,
οὐχ ὅλος, &c.. But it is
not the whole of the containing air which is the place of the contained
body, but the limit of the containing air, where it comes into contact
with the contained body: and the reason is clearly because that
which contains is not within that which it contains.
