It is asked to which category the point is reduced original: "predicamentum". In Aristotelian logic, categories are the primary classes of being, such as quantity or quality.	318
It is asked whether the point should be called a quantity original: "quantitas". Quantity is the category of things that can be measured or counted.	319
It is asked whether the point is the principle in the genus of quantity	320
It is asked whether the point ought to be a principle in the category	320
It is asked whether the point ought to be a species in the category original: "species". A species is a specific division within a broader genus or category.	321
It is asked what the substanceIn the manuscript, this word is "subject" of the point is original: "substantia". This refers to the essential nature or underlying reality of the point.	321
It is asked whether the first most general genus is the subject of the point, or if it is corporeal substance	322
folio 3 a 1. It is asked concerning the continuum, whether the continuum has being in the soul or outside it original: "continuum". A continuum is something where the parts are joined at common boundaries, like a line or time. The "soul" here refers to the human mind.	323
It is asked whether the continuum is a substance or an accident A substance exists on its own, while an accident is a property that must exist in something else, like color or size.	324
It is asked whether the subject of the continuum is matter	325
It is asked whether the continuum is composed of indivisibles original: "indivisibilibus". These are elements that cannot be divided further, like points in a line or moments in time.	326
It is asked whether the point flows into a line	327
It is asked how the point relates to the line	328
It is asked in which genus of cause it exists	329
It is asked whether an indivisible thing must be moved	330
It is asked whether the point can be changed	331
It is asked whether a moving body is partly at the starting point and partly at the end point	332
It is asked whether motion is divided by itself through the division of the moving body	333
It is asked whether any action can occur in an instant by a finite power original: "instanti". An instant is a point in time with no duration.	334
It is asked whether this kind of operation, which is motion, can occur in an instant	335
It is asked whether motion should be divided according to the division of time	336
It is asked whether the division of motion should occur through equal divisions	336
It is asked whether there is a first part in motion	337

It is asked whether the motion of projection must be continued	338
It is asked whether the motion of projection can be continued (by the medium) original: "a medio". This refers to the air or water through which a projectile travels.	339
It is asked whether such a re-inclination of the parts of the medium can be the cause of the continuous motion of the projectile itself	342
