*me/geqos
Adler number: mu,397
Translated headword: size
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Note] that size [is] of two kinds. A common perception. "By analogy [this] can be understood in application to both smell and taste; for these are also capable of perceiving their own kind of size, the sense of smell though odours, and the sense of taste through juices — although customary usage does not know it by the name 'size'".[1]

Philoponus,
Commentary on Aristotle's de anima 315.13-16 Hayduck -- commenting here on
de anima 418a17 (which argues that what the different senses perceive are consistent with each other). The Suda's paraphrase simplifies this into "two kinds of size": presumably, that directly sensed by touch and sight, and the perception consistent with size through smell and taste — but all senses perceive the same thing in common.
