1. The Passive or Receptive Intellect (νοῦς παφητικός).--Its office is the reception of sensible impressions or images (Φαντάσµατα) and their retention in the mind (µνήµη). These sensible forms or images are essentially immaterial. "Each sensoriurn (αἰσθητήρων) is receptive of the sensible quality without the matter, and hence when the sensibles themselves are absent, sensations and φαντασίκός remain." 707
