understood. And as the habit is prior to the privation, so also "to be" is understood as prior to "not to be."

Some enunciation is haplōs simply: some is understood by the definition of one and ousiōdes essential.

To these, the apophantikē declarative oration, the first is affirmation, then negation. All the rest are one oration syndes mō by a conjunction, such as a syllogism, and a demonstration, which consists of several syllogisms. By definition, not just any "one" is understood, but hēsōdes that which is strictly one, and simply one, that is, the auto on thing itself that exists, to which nothing can be added and from which nothing can be taken away; not, however, one tō pathei by affection/accident. Truly, for the sake of dianoias thought (which composes apophantinous logous declarative speeches), a definition is called an oration. However, how one hēsōdes is understood by definition is not the purpose of this instruction to declare, since this discussion pertains to the first Philosopher likely Aristotle.

No enunciation without a verb, or a case of a verb.

Furthermore, there can be no enunciation without a verb, or a case of a verb, because in an enunciation it is always necessary that something be said about something. Nor, if one thing is expressed by several words—such as if a definition of a name is put in place of the name of a man—will it be an apophansis declaration, unless the verb "is," or "was," or "will be," or something of that kind is added. Why, however, not many things, but hēsōdes kai haplōs that which is strictly one and simply, and not just synechōs continuously one, is signified in the parts of a definition is explained by the first Philosopher.

Tō pathei one, or tō synggis eirēsthai by proximity/accidence.

Something is called one by accident, or one tō pathei, as "a man is one, loud, noble, rich"—from which a true oration can be made, which is not one oration in essence, but is said tō synggis by proximity.

Bēkos likely a reference to the Greek word for "bleating" or a specific logical term.

Finally, as the logos apophantikos declarative speech is called one in two ways.
