Note 12 — Chapter XI · PHYSICA AND METAPHYSICA.
Reading edition
Metaph. Γ. iii. p. 1005, b. 7, 17, 22, 34: αὕτη δὴ πασῶν ἐστὶ βεβαιοτάτη τῶν ἀρχῶν — φύσει γὰρ ἀρχὴ καὶ τῶν ἄλλων ἀξιωμάτων αὕτη πάντων. — p. 1011, b. 13: βεβαιοτάτη δόξα πασῶν τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἀληθεῖς ἅμα τὰς ἀντικειμένας φάσεις — (He here applies the term δόξα to designate this fundamental maxim. This deserves notice, because of the antithesis, common with him elsewhere, between δόξα and ἐπιστήμη).
