Χρόνος

The philosophers assert it is incorporeal, being a dimension of the movement of the world.¹ Of this [i.e. time], the past and the future [are] infinite, but the present finite.² They also think that the world is corruptible, for its parts (and the whole, too) are corruptible. The parts of the world [are] corruptible, for they change into each other; therefore the world too [is] corruptible. And if something can admit the change for the worse, it is corruptible. And the world [is capable of such a change]; at any rate it is dried out and made into water.
