. But in a sense not even every kind of letter will be present
in the formula of the syllable, e.g. particular waxen letters or the
letters as movements in the air; for in these also we have already
something that is part of the syllable only in the sense that it is
its perceptible matter. For even if the line when divided passes
away into its halves, or the man into bones and muscles and flesh,
it does not follow that they are composed of these as parts of their
essence, but rather as matter; and these are parts of the concrete
thing, but not also of the form, i.e. of that to which the formula
refers; wherefore also they are not present in the formulae. In one
kind of formula, then, the formula of such parts will be present,
but in another it must not be present, where the formula does not
refer to the concrete object. For it is for this reason that some
things have as their constituent principles parts into which they pass
away, while some have not. Those things which are the form and the
matter taken together, e.g. the snub, or the bronze circle, pass
away into these materials, and the matter is a part of them; but those
things which do not involve matter but are without matter, and whose
formulae are formulae of the form only, do not pass away,-either not
at all or at any rate not in this way. Therefore these materials are
principles and parts of the concrete things, while of the form they
are neither parts nor principles
