secondly, according as potency or complete reality is taken into account, different things are prior, for some things are prior in respect of potency, others in respect of complete reality, e.g. in potency the half line is prior to the whole line, and the part to the whole, and the matter to the concrete substance, but in complete reality these are posterior;
horrela, gauza batzuk potentziaren arabera dira aurrekoak eta beste batzuk, entelekiaren arabera; adibidez, lerro-erdia lerro osoaren aurrekoa da, zatia osoarena eta materia substantziarena, baina entelekiaren arabera ondorengoak dira, desegin ondoren izango baitira entelekian.)
