Italian term

appartengono

Italian to English Other Philosophy Motion
Re Aristotle's Physics/motion

I don't think this last sentence works with this, I was going to with being a man and musician are incidental to Aristoxene, simply that but not sure if there is a better way of saying this, help much appreciated thanks

Poiché i punti sulla cosa che ruota si muovono, l'intero è sempre in cambiamento verso il posto di un diverso intero, visto che la circonferenza da A ad A non è uguale a quella da B a B, sia per il luogo che per quello che sta nel luogo, se non incidentalmente, perché tutte le circonferenze appartengono alla stessa circonferenza, come un musicista e un uomo sono uguali, ma solo incidentalmente, perché “è incidentale a”; ad esempio, Aristoxene, un famoso teorico della musica e allievo di Aristotele, è un uomo ma anche un musicista, e quindi essere incidentalmente un musicista e un uomo appartengono ad Aristoxene.

Reference:

Aristotle

Depending on your text and context, you might have to dig very deep into Aristotelian thought, not for the faint-hearted! But maybe this can serve as a starting point.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categories_(Aristotle)

I'm thinking appartengono might mean something along the lines of "are properties of", and incidentale/incidentalmente probably means "accidental(ly)" (in contrast to essential(ly)). But way more context is needed to suggest something concrete.
