τὸν μερισμόν: τὸ γὰρ ἁπλοῦν καὶ ἀπαθὲς
[p. 169]
καὶ καθαρὸν αὐτῆς καὶ μονοειδὲς ἀμερὲς εἴρηται
καὶ ἀμέριστον ᾧ καὶ τῶν συνθέτων καὶ μεριστῶν καὶ διαφερομένων ἁμωσγέπως θιγοῦσα παύει τὸ πλῆθος καὶ καθίστησιν εἰς μίαν δι᾽ ὁμοιότητος ἕξιν.
τὴν δὲ περὶ τὰ σώματα γιγνομένην μεριστὴν εἰ μέν τις ἐθέλοι καλεῖν ὕλην, ὡς καὶ ὑποκειμένην ἐκείνῃ
καὶ μεταληπτικὴν ἐκείνης φύσιν, ὁμωνυμίᾳ χρώμενος,
οὐ διαφέρει πρὸς τὸν λόγον: οἱ δὲ σωματικὴν
ἀξιοῦντες ὕλην συμμίγνυσθαι τῇ ἀμερίστῳ διαμαρτάνουσι
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1895. 6.
