Since, however, each of the elements is triple, the extremes require two media, and the things themselves that are adjacent are bound together through two powers. For solids, and these are things that have triple contrary powers, are never co-adapted by one medium. " FRAGMENTS OF TAURUS, A PLATONIC PHILOSOPHER, ON THE ETERNITY OF THE WORLD. EXTRACTED FROM PHILOPONUS AGAINST PROCLUS. TAURUS, in his Commentaries on the Timaeus of Plato, says : " In the investigation, whether ac- cording to Plato ...the world is unbegotten, philo- sophers differ in their opinions. For Aristotle asserts that Timseus says the world was gene- rated *. And Theophrastus also, in his treatise On Physical Opinions, says that, according to Plato, the world was generated, and therefore writes in opposition to him. At the same time, however, he asserts that Timaeus perhaps sup- posed the world to be generated, for the sake of perspicuity. Certain other persons also infer, that, * Timaeus, in the Dialogue which bears his name, is represented by Plato as saying this ; for, speaking of the world, he says ytyovtvat, it was generated.
