Headword: *fora/
Adler number: phi,580
Translated headword: transportation, transposition
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the interchange [or: variation] over the whole place; and especially the [sort] that is not able to stop by itself whenever [one] wishes.[1]
[Note] that the one who says that transportation is the genus of the movement according to place ranges the genus under the species. Even Plato does this: for when defining the movement according to place, he called it 'transportation'. But transportation belongs to inanimate things and to things that, unwillingly, change from one place to another -- 'unwillingly' meaning 'not intentionally'. Now if there are some things changing not willingly from one place to another, such as walking things, movement according to place would be something on a larger scale there. Not every movement according to place [is] transportation.[2]
And elsewhere: "great is your annoyance at such a burden (fo/rhma); however, endure it! To noble people what is shameful is hateful and what is good is glorious. But if you abandon this reproach, this is not noble [for you], and if you perform it, boy, [you will have] the highest price of glory, if I return alive to Oeta’s land." Philoctetes says [this].[3]
