In some cases, however, the number of relations in which
the terms are used happens not to be equal, for while 'double' is
double of something, we speak of 'in excess' or 'greater' in
something, as well as of or than something: for what is in excess or
greater is always in excess in something, as well as in excess of
something. Hence the terms in question are not the genera of 'double',
inasmuch as they are not used in relation to an equal number of things
with the species. Or possibly it is not universally true that
species and genus are used in relation to an equal number of things.
See, also, if the opposite of the species have the opposite of the
genus as its genus, e.g. whether, if 'multiple' be the genus of
'double', 'fraction' be also the genus of 'half'. For the opposite
of the genus should always be the genus of the opposite species. If,
then, any one were to assert that knowledge is a kind of sensation,
then also the object of knowledge will have to be a kind of object
of sensation, whereas it is not: for an object of knowledge is not
always an object of sensation: for objects of knowledge include some
of the objects of intuition as well.
