[219] Οὐκοῦν ὁ περὶ τῶν γενῶν καὶ τῶν εἰδῶν ὑπολείπεται
λόγος, περὶ οὗ πλατύτερον μὲν ἐν ἄλλοις διαλεξόμεθα (cf. p. XXVII), ὧς ἐν συντόμῳ δὲ νῦν ταῦτα λέξομεν. εἰ μὲν ἐννοήματα εἶναι τὰ γένη καὶ τὰ εἴδη λέγουσιν, αἱ κατὰ τοῦ ἡγεμονικοῦ καὶ τῆς φαντασίας ἐπιχειρήσεις αὐτούς διατρέπουσιν· εἰ δὲ ἰδίαν ὑπόστασιν αὐτοῖς ἀπολείπουσιν, τί πρὸς
τοῦτο ἐροῦσιν;

[219] There still remains, then, the subject of genera and species, which we shall discuss more at large elsewhere,¹ but here we shall deal with them concisely. If, on the one hand, they² assert that genera and species are mental concepts, our criticisms of the ‟regent part” and of ‟presentation” refute them; whereas if they assign to them a substantiality of their own, how will they reply to this objection?
