In this paper, I will focus on the meaning and function of epitêdeiotês in Simplicius and I will argue, based on an analysis of different passages of chapter 8 of Simplicius' Commentary on Aristotle’s Categories, that epitêdeiotês is not a mere substitute for the Aristotelian notion of dynamis, in Simplicius either. However, it will become apparent that Simplicius does not make any effort to clearly distinguish epitêdeiotês from dynamis, an aspect that might have led Todd to assume that epitêdeiotês is a mere substitute for the Aristotelian notion of dynamis. The fact that Simplicius does not explicitly distinguish epitêdeiotês from dynamis does, however, not necessarily imply that he does not make anydistinctions between the two notions. [Introduction, p. 67]

Simplicius claims in his Commentary on Aristotle’s Categoriesthat quality is prior to the qualified according to nature. However, in an interesting passage in the same com­mentary, Simplicius describes the relation between quality and qualified in such a way that it strongly suggests an ontological simultaneity. The aim of this paper is to clarify Simplicius' notion of natural priority and to investigate the extent to which the as­sumption of a natural priority of the quality over the qualified is compatible with the assumption of a co-existence of quality and qualified.

This paper deals with Simplicius’ discussion of Aristotle’s account of predication in his Commentary on Aristotle’s Categories. Of particular interest is the relation between synonymous predication and essential predication. In Aristotle, as well as in Simplicius, both kinds of predication are closely connected. It has been argued in Aristotelian scholarship that, for Aristotle, synonymous predication yields essential predication. It has been equally argued that this assumption is compatible with Aristotle’s theoretical framework, but if applied to Plato, would pose a problem for Plato. Simplicius’ extensive discussion of both synonymous predication and essential predication suggests that he was aware of the deeper problem raised by the assumption that synonymous predication yields essential predication. In this paper, I will argue that Simplicius, by means of an original interpretation of the predicate, not only turns the assumption that synonymous predication yields essential predication into a supposition that is less problematic for Plato, but also creates a framework for a possible harmonization of Plato and Aristotle.
