Aristotle - index for METAPHYSICA Book 3 Part 5

14: numbers, bodies, planes, lines, points

Paragraph 1 (14) A question connected with these is whether numbers and bodies and planes and points are substances of a kind, or not.

Paragraph 2 But if this is admitted, that lines and points are substance more than bodies, but we do not see to what sort of bodies these could belong (for they cannot be in perceptible bodies), there can be no substance.
