[CAP. 62. DE PRAEDICAMENTO HABITUS] [Chapter 62. On the category of having]
Decimum praedicamentum ponitur habitus. Et de isto, sicut de prioribus, dico quod Aristoteles non posuit quod significet aliquam rem distinctam a rebus permanentibus, sed significat quod una res est circa aliam mobilis ad motum ipsius nisi contingat aliquod impedimentum, quae non est pars rei nec simul cum re sed loco et situ distincta a re. The tenth category is given as ‘having’. And of this, just as of the ones before, I say that Aristotle did not suppose that it signifies some thing distinct from the permanent things, but rather that it signifies that one thing is moveable around another to a movement of that, unless contingat aliquod impedimentum, which is not a part of the thing nor simulaneous with that thing, but distinct in place and situation from the thing.
In quo praedicamento ponit talia 'armatum esse', 'calceatum esse' et sic de aliis. Tamen 'habere' secundum Philosophum multis modis dicitur, sicut in Praedicamentis exposui. Alii autem dicunt quod habitus est quidam respectus in ipso corpore circa aliud corpus vel in ipso corpore contento. Et de istis praedicamentis ista sufficiant. In this category he puts such things as ‘to be armed’, ‘to be shod’, and so on. Yet ‘to have’ is predicated in many ways, according to the Philosopher, just as I set out in the <i>Categories</i>. But others say that ‘holding’ is a certain relative in that body, concerning another body or contained in that body. And of these categories, these are sufficient.
