âQuantumâ means that which is divisible into two or more constituent parts
of which each is by nature a âoneâ and a âthisâ. A quantum is a plurality if it is
numerable, a magnitude if it is a measurable. âPluralityâ means that which is
divisible potentially into non-continuous parts, âmagnitudeâ that which is
divisible into continuous parts; of magnitude, that which is continuous in one
dimension is length; in two breadth, in three depth. Of these, limited plurality
is number, limited length is a line, breadth a surface, depth a solid.
Again, some things are called quanta in virtue of their own nature, others
incidentally; e.g. the line is a quantum by its own nature, the musical is one
incidentally. Of the things that are quanta by their own nature some are so as
substances, e.g. the line is a quantum (for âa certain kind of quantumâ is
present in the definition which states what it is), and others are modifications
and states of this kind of substance, e.g. much and little, long and short, broad
and narrow, deep and shallow, heavy and light, and all other such attributes.
And also great and small, and greater and smaller, both in themselves and
when taken relatively to each other, are by their own nature attributes of what
is quantitative; but these names are transferred to other things also. Of things
that are quanta incidentally, some are so called in the sense in which it was
said that the musical and the white were quanta, viz. because that to which
musicalness and whiteness belong is a quantum, and some are quanta in the
way in which movement and time are so; for these also are called quanta of a
sort and continuous because the things of which these are attributes are
divisible. I mean not that which is moved, but the space through which it is
moved; for because that is a quantum movement also is a quantum, and
because this is a quantum time is one.

âQualityâ means (1) the differentia of the essence, e.g. man is an animal of a
certain quality because he is two-footed, and the horse is so because it is four-
