It denotes (as has been stated above) not a generic aggregate, divisible into species, but an analogical aggregate, starting from one common terminus and ramifying into many derivatives, having no other community except that of relationship to the same terminus.[119] The different modes of _Ens_ are distinguished by the degree or variety of such relationship. The _Ens Primum_, _Proprium_, _Completum_, is (in Aristotle's view) the concrete individual; with a defined essence or essential constituent attributes ([Greek: ti/ ê(/n ei)=nai]), and with unessential accessories or accidents also--all embodied and implicated in the One _Hoc Aliquid_. In the Categoriæ Aristotle analyses this _Ens Completum_ (not metaphysically, into Form and Matter, as we shall find him doing elsewhere, but) logically into Subject and Predicates. In this logical analysis, the Subject which can never be a Predicate stands first; next, come the near kinsmen, Genus and Species (expressed by substantive names, as the First Substance is), which are sometimes Predicates--as applied to _Substantia Prima_, sometimes Subjects--in regard to the extrinsic accompaniments or accidents;[120] in the third rank, come the more remote kinsmen, Predicates pure and simple. These are the logical factors or constituents into which the _Ens Completum_ may be
