Chapter 32

All those things are univocal which have in common both their name and the definition or description of their name. For example, the term animal signifies both man and the horse. And in this name, that is, in the name animal, they are univocal, because each of them admits both of the name and of the definition of the animal. Now, they describe univocal things as follows: those things are univocal which have a common name and the same definition for the substance signified by that name.

[18] {Περὶ συνωνύμου.} Συνώνυμα δέ εἰσιν, ὅσα καὶ τῷ ὀνόματι καὶ τῷ ὁρισμῷ ἢ τῇ ὑπογραφῇ τοῦ αὐτοῦ ὀνόματος κοινωνοῦσιν, οἷον τὸ ζῷον δηλοῖ καὶ τὸν ἄνθρωπον καὶ τὸν ἵππον, καὶ κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦτο ἤγουν τοῦ ζῴου συνώνυμοί εἰσιν: ἕκαστον γὰρ αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ ὄνομα καὶ τὸν ὁρισμὸν τοῦ ζῴου δέχεται. Ὑπογράφουσι δὲ τὰ συνώνυμα οὕτως: Συνώνυμά εἰσιν, ὧν τό τε ὄνομα κοινὸν καὶ ὁ κατὰ τοὔνομα λόγος τῆς οὐσίας ὁ αὐτός.
