[372] Matter is begotten by nature, which is the inferior power of the universal Soul, iii. 4.1.; and the form derives from Reason, which is the superior power of the same Soul, ii. 3.17.

[377] Plotinos is here defending Plato's valuation of the universal, against Aristotle, in Met. vii. 13. [378] Arist. de Anima, ii. 1. [379] See sect. 8. [380] Plotinos follows Aristotle in his definition of quantity, but subsumes time and place under relation. Plot., vi. 1.4; Arist. Categ. ii. 6.1, 2. [381] Arist. Met. v. 13. [382] See vi. 3.5; iii. 6.17. [383] Categ. ii. 6. [384] Quoted by Plato in his Hippias, p. 289, Cary, 20. [385] See Categ. 2.6. [386] See vi. 1.5. [387] See sect. 11. [388] See vi. 6.

[395] Bouillet remarks that Plotinos intends to demonstrate this by explaining the term "similarity" not only of identical quality, but also of two beings of which one is the image of the other, as the portrait is the image of the corporeal form, the former that of the "seminal reason," and the latter that of the Idea. [396] By this Plotinos means the essence, or intelligible form, vi. 7.2. [397] See vi. 7.3-6. [398] See iii. 6.4. [399] In his Banquet, p. 186-188; Cary, 14, 15. [400] See v. 9.11. [401] See i. 2.1.

[417] By a pun, this "change" is used as synonymous with the "alteration" used further on. [418] Arist. de Gen. i. 4. [419] Alteration is change in the category of quality, Arist. de Gen. i. 4; Physics, vii. 2. [420] Arist. Metaph. ix. 6; xi. 9. [421] Met. xi. 9. [422] See ii. 5.1, 2. [423] See ii. 5.2.
