Here Spinoza begins the axioms of part I and concludes the
definitions of part I. The definitions are different than the axioms in
degree of logical certainty. If the definitions were altered, the
content process of the Ethics would be changed. In contrast, if the
axioms were altered, the reasoning process of the Ethics would be
changed.
Omnia quae sunt vel in se vel in alio sunt.
Translated as,
All things which are, are either in themselves or in another.
