Note 15 — II.

Reading edition

Συμβαίνουσι δ’ αἱ ἀναμνήσεις, ἐπειδὴ πέφυκεν ἡ κίνησις ἥδε γενέσθαι μετὰ τήνδε. This passage is obscure, but it is generally understood to refer to the sequence of motions or the corresponding ideas, and this interpretation agrees with the context. See Hamilton’s Edition of Reid, pp. 892–893, and Themistius’ paraphrase of De Memoria, quoted by Hamilton, p. 893–894; also Siebeck, Geschichte der Psychologie, Zweite Abtheilung, p. 77; Grote’s Aristotle, p. 215; Grant’s Aristotle, p. 170; Wallace’s Aristotle’s Psychology, Introduction, p. 95.
