36 AKISTO TLE'S POLITICS.
- waudqpia, 4oprVia.
vavKhqpia=' commerce by sea,' $opqyia= ' commerce by land.'
The word vaurhqpla may also be taken in the narrower sense of
' owning of ships ' ; and +oprqyia in the sense of carrying whether
by sea or land.' But this explanation of the words does not afford
so natural a division.

It is not certain whether in this sentence Aristotle is speaking of
trades in general without reference to the three previous divisions,
or, of the divisions themselves, commerce by sea being the more
profitable, commerce by land the more secure mode of trading.
The opposition of rh ptv.. rh 82 favours the more general applica-
tion of the words.

In these words Aristotle is illustrating 'the third or mixed kind
of chrematistic,' which is concerned not only with fruits of the earth
and animals, but with other products dug out of the earth and
manufactured by man.
fBq, 'mining again is not a simple art, but already-or, not to
speak of other species-contains in itself many subdivisions.'

Aristotle,
although he declines to go into the particulars of these arts, gives
some general characteristics of them.
8' ;urb skips the
intervening passage rlul 82... dperfjs, and goes back to the pre-
vious subject. In another author we might suspect a gloss. But
there are many such dislocations in Aristotle's Politics ; e. g.
iii. 4. $5 11-13. For the meaning cp. Rhet. i. 4. 1359 b. 31,
The connexion is with the word raOdhov in $ 5.
