.g. the voyage took place 'from'
the equinox, because it took place after the equinox, and the festival
of the Thargelia comes 'from' the Dionysia, because after the
Dionysia.

'Part' means (1) (a) that into which a quantum can in any way be
divided; for that which is taken from a quantum qua quantum is
always called a part of it, e.g. two is called in a sense a part of
three. It means (b), of the parts in the first sense, only those which
measure the whole; this is why two, though in one sense it is, in
another is not, called a part of three.-(2) The elements into which
a kind might be divided apart from the quantity are also called
parts of it; for which reason we say the species are parts of the
genus.-(3) The elements into which a whole is divided, or of which
it consists-the 'whole' meaning either the form or that which has
the form; e.g. of the bronze sphere or of the bronze cube both the
bronze-i.e. the matter in which the form is-and the characteristic
angle are parts.-(4) The elements in the definition which explains a
thing are also parts of the whole; this is why the genus is called a
part of the species, though in another sense the species is part of
the genus.

'A whole' means (1) that from which is absent none of the parts of
which it is said to be naturally a whole, and (2) that which so
contains the things it contains that they form a unity; and this in
two senses-either as being each severally one single thing, or as
making up the unity between them
