[Footnote 130: Categor. p. 3, b. 13: [Greek: e)pi\ de\ tô=n deute/rôn ou)siô=n phai/netai me\n o(moi/ôs tô=| _schê/mati tê=s prosêgori/as_ to/de ti sêmai/nein, o(/tan ei)/pê| a)/nthrôpon ê)\ zô=|on, ou) mê\n a)lêthe/s ge, a)lla\ ma=llon poio/n ti sêmai/nei.] &c.] We may illustrate the ten Categories of Aristotle by comparing them with the four Categories of the Stoics. During the century succeeding Aristotle's death, the Stoics, Zeno and Chrysippus (principally the latter), having before them what he had done, proposed a new arrangement for the complete distribution of Subject and Predicates. Their distribution was quadruple instead of decuple. Their first Category was [Greek: ti/], _Aliquid_ or _Quiddam_--[Greek: to\ u(pokei/menon], the _Substratum_ or Subject. Their second was [Greek: poio/n], _Quale_ or Quality. Their third was [Greek: pô\s e)/chon], _certo Modo se habens_. Their fourth was, [Greek: pro/s ti pô\s e)/chon], _Ad Aliquid certo Modo se habens_.[131] [Footnote 131: Plotinus, Ennead. vi. 1, 25; vi. 1, 30: [Greek: ta\ pô\s e)/chonta tri/ta ti/thesthai]. Simplikius ad Categor. f. 7, p. 48, a. 13, Brand. Schol.: [Greek: Oi( Stôi+koi\ ei)s e)la/ttona suste/llein a)xiou=si to\n tô=n prô/tôn genô=n a)rithmo/n kai/ tina e)n toi=s a)la/ttosin u(pêllagme/na paralamba/nousi. poiou=ntai ga\r tê\n tomê\n ei)s te/ssara, ei)s u(pokei/mena, kai\ poia\, kai\ pô\s e)/chonta, kai\ pro/s ti pô\s e)/chonta.] It would seem from the adverse criticisms of Plotinus, that the Stoics recognized one grand [Greek: **ge/nos] comprehending all the above four as distinct species: see Plotinus, Ennead., vi. 2, 1; vi. 1, 25. He charges them with inconsistency and error for doing so. He admits, however, that Aristotle did not recognize any one supreme [Greek: ge/nos] comprehending all the ten Categories (vi. 1, 1), but treated all the ten as [Greek: prô=ta ge/nê], under an analogous aggregate. I cannot but think that the **Stoics looked upon their four [Greek: ge/nê] in the same manner; for I do not see what they could find more comprehensive to rank generically above [Greek: ti/].]
