The general term poion (qualified) included the koinos poion (generically qualified) and the idios poion (individually qualified), but the relationship between these two concepts is by no means clear. It is even more difficult to see how they were connected with the idia poiotes (particular quality) and the koine poiotis (common quality).\r\n\r\nIn order to explain how the four terms were related, I shall undertake in this paper as thorough an investigation as possible of a diaeresis described by Boethius in his Commentary on Aristotle's De Interpretatione.\r\n\r\nBoethius outlines a diaeresis of possible and necessary propositions in Stoic philosophy. He writes: \"They (the Stoics) divide propositions in this way: of propositions, they say, some are possible, others impossible; of the possible, some are necessary, others non-necessary; again, of the non-necessary, some are possible and others impossible, foolishly and recklessly deciding that the possible is both a genus and a species of the non-necessary.\"\r\n\r\nIn the chart below, I have reconstructed this diaeresis, using the definitions of the terms and the examples given by Diogenes Laertius.
