Aristotle says
a(plw=s "simply," that which is true when said without any qualification. For the Ethiopian being in some respect white -- for he is white in respect to the teeth -- is no longer also white simply. That which needs a qualification in order to be true is not true simply. For the Ethiopian is not white, because [this statement is] without qualification. But when "in some respect" has been added, it becomes true, for he is white in respect to the teeth. Furthermore, certain people [are] good "in some respect".
Similarly it is said, "not [in] the simple manner". Meaning what
parauti/ka ["immediately"] [means] in the ancients.[2]
And elsewhere: "for they did not simply make some speeches, but a lofty platform was raised, and on it they put images of Nero."[3]
