Summary
Andronicus’ paraphrase of the opening of the Categories as reconstructed by Moraux 1973, 102–3 from Simplicius, On Aristotle’s Categories 21.22–4, 26.18–19, 30.3–5 (= 6A) and Dexippus, On Aristotle’s Categories 21.18–19; what is underlined here is addition, what is not is as in the text of Aristotle (except that the text of Aristotle has ‘in common’ rather than ‘the same’, and ‘the account of the being’; on the latter point see the discussion below).
Of [things] that are said some are said without combination, others with combination.Of those that do not involve combination, those are said homonymously which have only the name the same, but the account that corresponds to the name is different. (Sharples 2008b, 280)
