Headword:
*sunoxh/
Adler number: sigma,1603
Translated headword: continuity
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Continuity [is] a species of contact; so he who defines continuity as a genus of contact is mistaken. For not everything that is in contact is continuous; for things that are in contact are only in contact, not also continuous. Not[1] everything, however, that is continuous is in contact; consequently, being in contact [extends] beyond being continuous.

Topica 122b25-26).
[1] The lexicographer does begin this sentence with a negative,
ou), which is not in Alexander and which confuses the sense. Everything that is continuous is in contact, so continuous things are a subset of things in contact.
