But Demosthenes says the symmory has sixty men; but Hyperides fifteen. Congeniality. a union of the intertwined into one watchword of the same tribe. Synaloepha. a coming together and harmony of two syllables, into one syllable a union and a change. synaloepha is also confusion or synizesis; or to say, a commingling of different things. Synizesis. the coming together. Composition. the making into one from one thing and another. sigma.1686 either divisibly or indivisibly or confusedly or thus. Composite knowledge is the experience of sensible things according to sense, as having pleasure by nature through generation and pain through corruption. Covenants. agreements. so that there may be councillors from the essence. Contemplation. a convergence of thoughts, or the convergence of the mind towards the things thought. or a coming together of thoughts. and the work of convergence is all things that fittingly contribute to our purpose. Understanding. rational discernment, or right judgment concerning things said by others, whether to be chosen or to be avoided. Understanding is that from which we judge well the things said by others, about which prudence is directive. Consent. harmony. Concert. harmony. Contraction. that is, restorative or respiratory. Connection. the mixture. from the preposition syn and haphe (touch). and the preposition syn means 'together'. Pipes. the shepherds' flutes. or syrinx, the elongated and hollow thing. or pipes opposite, because their arrangement is from the opposite side to them. you will see this in the case of bees. Syria. the land near Sinope as far as Apamea and still further down. The land situated by the Pontic Sea which leads to Persia and India is called Syria. because of its being swept away by a partial flood which occurred. But Assyria sigma.1687, being near the land of Syris, which is Sinope. from its not being swept away. And they say that Sinope extends out onto the sea and is a peninsula and an isthmus. Letters of recommendation. those handed to clerics or excommunicated laity, or to lectors departing to another city. Arrangement. a union of secondary things. and the receiving and doing of what is necessary. Conspiracy. the plotting against certain persons, and binding one another by oaths, not to desist from the wicked plan, until it should be accomplished. Composition. a beginning of separation. But it must be known that composite natures, as they are composite, are also naturally easily dissolved, as the great Gregory says, that composition is a beginning of separation. For this reason, then, the bodies of men and animals happen to be perishable and mortal, as being composed of the four elements, and as the elements are, as it were, opposed to one another and in conflict. But the simple and uncompounded things are long-lasting, and remain indissoluble until the consummation; such as the soul of man, the sun, light, luminaries, air, waters, fire, spirit, and all simple and single and unmixed and uncompounded things. whence also plants and trees, as being composed of the four elements, I mean earth and water, sun and air, they too are not ageless nor incorruptible nor unwithering, sigma.1688 as long as they remain outside, but they die, just as bodies do, as the earth also is composed. But make a brick from earth and water, and it is easily destroyed. Understanding. apprehension of things. as in: "understand my cry." Of recommendation. of presenting. Or, "do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you." (Neuter.) Swineherd's station. the pigsty. Congratulatory. that which is with joy. Combination. the fact that this created thing is not hindered by another, and the other by another, but that they come together for the creation of one world. For the air, through the rarity and thinness in it, does not hinder the sun's rays, nor do the vapors of the earth, which form clouds, and other such things. Akin. that which in no way differs from another either by way of improvement or by way of diminution, but is in a similar state. or akin is that which exists in a similar manner from the same genus. Accident. what comes to be and ceases to be, without the destruction of the subject. Accident. what is in something not as a part, and is impossible to be without that in which it is. for example, whiteness is in the body and not
