Simplicius shares this conception with the other commentators, but he formulates it in different terms. He calls the substrate on which relational attributes supervene a difference (\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c6\u03bf\u03c1\u1f71) or a character (\u03c7\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03ba\u03c4\u1f75\u03c1) and the supervening relational attribute an inclination (\u1f00\u03c0\u1f79\u03bd\u03b5\u03c5\u03c3\u03b9\u03c2). In this study I attempt to clarify the significance of this terminology, arguing that through the notion of inclination Simplicius answers the question of the unity of Aristotle\u2019s category of relatives, as formulated in Plotinus\u2019 Ennead 6. 1. 6-9. To expound this contention, I outline Plotinus\u2019 construal of Aristotle\u2019s category of relatives.
