| Paragraph 1 | By a noun we mean a sound significant by convention, which has no reference to time, and of which no part is significant apart from the rest. |
| Paragraph 2 | The limitation 'by convention' was introduced because nothing is by nature a noun or name - it is only so when it becomes a symbol; |
| Paragraph 3 | The expression 'not-man' is not a noun. |
| Paragraph 4 | The expressions 'of Philo', 'to Philo', and so on, constitute not nouns, but cases of a noun. |
