...and the genus...?
...the species...?
...predicated...?

A small geometric diagram depicts a square with a diagonal line and a smaller rectangle attached to its right side, likely illustrating the logical relationship between a whole and its parts.
We say of the predicated that which is affirmed of a subject and the species the specific form or kind in relation to that which has been rendered, one must know that since the genus is the genus of something, and the species is the species of something—each being of the other—it is necessary to use both in both accounts. They define the species not in this way: the species is that which is placed under the genus, and of which the genus is predicated in the question of "what it is." Furthermore, it is also defined thus: the species is that which is predicated of many things that differ in number, in the question of "what it is." But this definition is that of the most atomic species referring to the infima species or lowest form..
A small geometric diagram shows a square divided into four, possibly representing the logical division of categories.
...and since the genus is predicated of the species, and the species of the individuals, the genus is broader than the species, and the species is broader than the individuals... as for instance "man" is predicated of Socrates and Plato... and "animal" is predicated of man, horse, and ox...?
