[Footnote 53: Ibid. II. xxiii. p. 68, b. 18: [Greek: oi(=on e)/stô to\ A makro/bion, to\ d' e)ph' ô(=| B, to\ cholê\n mê\ e)/chon, e)ph' ô(=| de\ G, to\ kath' e(/kaston _makro/bion_, oi(=on a)/nthrôpos kai\ i(/ppos kai\ ê(mi/onos. tô=| dê\ G o(/lô| u(pa/rchei to\ A; pa=n ga\r to\ a)/cholon makro/bion; a)lla\ kai\ to\ B, to\ mê\ e)/chein cholê/n, panti\ u(pa/rchei tô=| G. ei) ou)=n a)ntistre/phei to\ G tô=| B kai\ mê\ u(pertei/nei to\ me/son, a)na/gkê to\ A tô=| B u(pa/rchein.] I have transcribed this Greek text as it stands in the editions of Buhle, Bekker, Waitz, and F. Didot. Yet, notwithstanding these high authorities, I venture to contend that it is not wholly correct; that the word [Greek: _makro/bion_], which I have emphasized, is neither consistent with the context, nor suitable for the point which Aristotle is illustrating. Instead of [Greek: _makro/bion_], we ought in that place to read [Greek: a)/cholon]; and I have given the sense of the passage in my English text as if it did stand [Greek: a)/cholon] in that place. I proceed to justify this change. If we turn back to the edition by Julius Pacius (1584, p. 377), we find the text given as follows after the word [Greek: ê(mi/onos] (down to that word the text is the same): [Greek: tô=| dê\ G o(/lô| u(pa/rchei to\ A; pa=n ga\r to\ G makro/bion; a)lla\ kai\ to\ B, to\ mê\ e)/chon cholê/n, panti\ u(pa/rchei tô=| G. ei) ou)=n a)ntistre/phei to\ G tô=| B, kai\ mê\ u(pertei/nei to\ me/son, a)na/gkê to\ A tô=| B u(pa/rchein.] Earlier than Pacius, the edition of Erasmus (Basil. 1550) has the same text in this chapter.
