Outlines of Pyrrhonism

1. i.e. ‟things with like parts,” or ‟homogeneous substances,” is Aristotle’s name for Anaxagoras’s ‟seeds of things,” or material ‟elements”; cf. Introd. p. xi.

2. Asclepiades (first century b.c.), a physician at Rome, held a theory of non-sensible, frangible ‟molecules” (ὄγκοι) of matter always in motion; by collision with one another these ‟molecules” break in pieces, and when re-united become objects of sense.
