"Plato, expressing himself in the person of Xenos in his 'Sophistes', had
defined 'verb' (RHMA) as the part of speech 'denoting action' (EPI TAIS
PRAXESIN ON DHLWMA)--while Aristotle, a little later in the same century,
in his 'Poetics', wrote that 'the verb is a composite sound denoting time'
(RHMA DE FWNH SUNQETH SHMANTIKH META CRONOU)."
