ἐξ οὗ γὰρ ἔστιν ἅπαντα τὰ ὄντα καὶ ἐξ οὗ γίγνεται πρώτου καὶ εἰς ὃ φθείρεται τελευταῖον , τῆς μὲν οὐσίας ὑπομενούσης τοῖς δὲ πάθεσι μεταβαλλούσης , τοῦτο στοιχεῖον καὶ ταύτην ἀρχήν φασιν εἶναι τῶν ὄντων , καὶ διὰ τοῦτο οὔτε γίγνεσθαι οὐθὲν οἴονται οὔτε ἀπόλλυσθαι , ὡς τῆς τοιαύτης φύσεως ἀεὶ σωζομένης , ὥσπερ οὐδὲ τὸν Σωκράτην φαμὲν οὔτε γίγνεσθαι ἁπλῶς ὅταν γίγνηται καλὸς ἢ μουσικὸς οὔτε ἀπόλλυσθαι ὅταν ἀποβάλλῃ ταύτας τὰς ἕξεις , διὰ τὸ ὑπομένειν τὸ ὑποκείμενον τὸν Σωκράτην αὐτόν , οὕτως οὐδὲ τῶν ἄλλων οὐδέν ·
that
of
which
all
things
consist
,
from
which
they
first
come
and
into
which
on
their
destruction
they
are
ultimately
resolved
,
of
which
the
essence
persists
although
modified
by
its
affections
-
this
,
they
say
,
is
an
element
and
principle
of
existing
things
.
hence
they
believe
that
nothing
is
either
generated
or
destroyed
,
since
this
kind
of
primary
entity
always
persists
.
similarly
we
do
not
say
that
socrates
comes
into
being
absolutely
when
he
becomes
handsome
or
cultured
,
nor
that
he
is
destroyed
when
he
loses
these
qualities
;
because
the
