Reading edition
Analyt. Post. II. xix. p. 100, a. 10-14: οὔτε δὴ ἐνυπάρχουσιν ἀφωρισμέναι αἱ ἕξεις, οὔτ’ ἀπ’ ἄλλων ἕξεων γίνονται γνωριμωτέρων, ἀλλ’ ἀπὸ αἰσθήσεως, — ἡ δὲ ψυχὴ ὑπάρχει τοιαύτη οὖσα οἵα δύνασθαι πάσχειν τοῦτο.
The varieties of intellectual ἕξεις enumerated by Aristotle in the sixth book of the Nikomachean Ethica, are elucidated by Alexander in his Comment. on the Metaphysica, (A. p. 981) pp. 7, 8, Bonitz. The difference of ἕξις and διάθεσις, the durable condition as contrasted with the transient, is noted in Categoriæ, pp. 8, 9. See also Eth. Nikom. II. i. ii. pp 1103, 4.
