Hello,
I do not know greek language, but I have to determine the exact meaning of two terms. The terms are "dsa" and "dei". One could find them in the following (Aristotle, "Topica",VII):
(Sorry for writing without accents)
"... dsa gar qateron categoreitai, xai qateron categoreisqai dei".
The meaning is something like "for all that is predicated of the one should be also predicated of the other" (Aristotle is giving a definition for "sameness").
Thank you
two terms

The -ds- combination shouldn't ever happen in Greek.Emma_85 wrote:never heard of dsa before, not in my dictionary either.
Unfortunately the Topica does not appear to be available online in Greek.

hosa (ὅσα) means "all that" : "For all that is predicated of the one should be predicated also of the other" (Translated by Pickard-Cambridge) and dei (δεῖ) is rendered here with "should".

Alas, as William said, no Greek text seems to be available on the web.
