Annotatio I §.II: Taking κατὰ τὸ ῥητόν three ways — retain words; follow native sense; want the sense proper
That one fight should not be counted as two is plain once you see that taking a proposition κατὰ the literal meaning can mean three things.
First: keep the words — formally, or by formal equipollents that do not even differ in concept.
Second: follow the words’ genuine native sense.
Third: want that sense to be proper.
Latin
Ex una duas sic Controversias nequicquam constitui, ad oculum patet, si observetur: Τὸ κατὰ τὸ ῥητόν Propositionem accipere, triplici modô contingere posse, (1.) uti verba retineas, idque vel formaliter, vel aequipollenter, aequipollentia scil. formali, hoc est ea, quâ à formaliter retentis ne conceptu quidem distinguantur aequipollentia. (2.) Sensum verborum genuinum nativumque sequaris. (3.) Sensum verborum velis esse proprium.
