Translation
The continuous quantity is predicated of more things [than the quantity which does not exist from those things that have a position. For the continuous quantity is predicated according to five things]: line, surface, body, time, place. By contrast, what does not [exist] from things that have a position [is predicated according to] three things: number, time, proportion.
