Headword:
*leuko/n
Adler number: lambda,332
Translated headword: white, clear
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Note] that 'white' [is] also homonymous,[1] just like 'good'.[2] What in reference to the body is called 'white' means color, which is under [the category of] quality, and [what is called 'white'] in the voice [means] its activity; for a voice easy to hear is called 'clear'; and it is easy to hear the [sound] which strongly and quickly affects the hearing. Similarly, 'acute' might be shown [as being] homonymous.
Greek Original:*leuko/n: o(/ti kai\ to\ leuko\n o(mw/numon, w(/sper to\ a)gaqo/n. to\ me\n e)pi\ tou= sw/matos lego/menon to\ leuko\n xrw=ma shmai/nei, o(/per e)sti\n u(po\ th\n poio/thta, to\ de\ e)pi\ th=s fwnh=s to\ poiei=n: leukh\ ga\r le/getai fwnh\ h( eu)h/koos: eu)h/koos de/ e)stin h( th\n a)koh\n sfodrw=s kai\ taxe/ws a)lloiou=sa. o(moi/ws kai\ to\ o)cu\ deiknu/oit' a)\n o(mw/numon.
Notes:
The headword is neuter singular of the adjective
leuko/s; and entry as a whole is taken from Alexander of
Aphrodisias,
Commentaries on Aristotle's Topica 106.16-20 (on
Topics 107a36-b5).
