χρόνος, khrónos (ho) / chronos: tempo.
Antes da vida presente, houve outro tempo (Platão , Mênon, 86a)."O tempo é uma imagem móvel da eternidade" (id., Timeu , 37d)."O tempo é a medida do movimento" (métron kinéseos / metron kineseos), Aristóteles , Fís., IV, 12). "O tempo é imagem da eternidade" (eikòn aiônos / eikon aionos), Plotino , I,V, 7). "O tempo é a causa de todas as coisas": aítion pánton (Periandro, Apotegmas, 11). [Gobry ]
Time. Some early writers synthesize this word with Kronos, the father of Zeus (cf. DL 1.119). This synthesis may be operating in the fragment of Anaximander . The Pythagoreans and Plato supposed time to exist independently of the physical world, a separate regulator of change (Timaeus 37 ff). Plato also identifies a cosmic time intrinsic to regular processes; for Aristotle, that concept of time was sufficient. Time is a consequence of the circular movements of the astronomical bodies (Phys. 218-233); it is the numbering of motion (Phys. 219). Plotinus returns to a (purified) Platonic conception, asserting the priority of eternity (aion) and making time the process of souls (psychai) changing from one condition to another. [DHAGP]
