[48]
For, as I have said, there is a great variety in the
names employed. There are some who, arguing from
its meaning of change, hold that ὑπαλλακτική is the
translative basis, which is concerned with competence.
Others, Caecilius1 and Theon for instance, hold
that there are the same number of bases, but make
them of a different kind, namely, those covered by
the questions whether a thing is, what it is, of what
kind it is and how great it is.
