immediately after _Relata_.[77] [Footnote 75: In the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of Mr. James Harris's Philosophical Arrangements, there is a learned and valuable illustration of these two last Aristotelian Categories. I think, however, that he gives to the Predicament [Greek: Kei=sthai] (_Jacere_) a larger and more comprehensive meaning than it bears in the treatise Categoriæ; and that neither he, nor the commentators whom he cites (p. 317), take sufficient notice of the marked distinction drawn in that treatise between [Greek: kei=sthai] and [Greek: the/sis] (Cat. p. 6, b. 12). Mr. Harris ranks the arrangement of words in an orderly discourse, and of propositions in a valid syllogism, as cases coming under the Predicament [Greek Kei=sthai]; which is travelling far beyond the meaning of that word in the Aristotelian Categories. At the same time he brings out strongly the fact, that living beings, and especially _men_, are the true and special subjects of predicates belonging to [Greek: Kei=sthai] and [Greek: E)/chein]. The more we attend to this, the nearer approach shall we make to the state of Aristotle's mind when he drew up the list of Categories; as indeed Harris himself seems to recognize (chap. ii. p. 29).] [Footnote 76: Aristot. Categor. p. 15, b. 17; Metaphys. [Greek: D]. p. 1023, a. 8.] [Footnote 77: See the Scholia of Simplikius, p. 80, b. 7, seq.; p. 92, b. 41, Brand.; where the different views of Archytas, Plotinus, and Boêthus, are given; also p. 59, b. 43: [Greek: proêgei=tai ga\r ê( sumphuê\s tô=n pro/s ti sche/sis tô=n e)piktê/tôn sche/seôn, ô(s kai\ tô\| A)rchu/ta| dokei=.] In the language of Archytas, [Greek: ai( e)pi/ktêtoi sche/seis] were the equivalent of the Aristotelian [Greek: e)/chein].] The narrow manner in which Aristotle conceives the Predicament _Habere_ in the treatise Categoriæ, and the enlarged sense given to that term both in the Post-Predicaments and in the Metaphysica, lead to a suspicion that the Categoriæ is comparatively early, in point of date, among his compositions. It seems more likely that he should begin with the narrower view, and pass from thence to the larger, rather than _vice versâ_. Probably the predicates specially applicable to Man would be among his early conceptions, but would by later thought be tacitly dropped,[78] so as to retain those only which had a wider philosophical application. [Footnote 78: Respecting the paragraph (at the close of the Categoriæ) about [Greek: to\ e)/chein], see the Scholion in Waitz's ed. of the Organon, p. 38. The fact that Archytas in his treatise presented the Aristotelian Category [Greek: e)/chein] under the more general phrase of [Greek: ai( e)pi/ktêtoi sche/seis] (see the preceding note), is among the reasons for believing that treatise to be later than Aristotle.]
