Hearing as the Most Affectable of the Senses

Notes

1. §91.1παθητικωτάτην — Superlative of the adjective παθητικός (feminine accusative singular), meaning "passive" or "susceptible to affection". It indicates that the sense of hearing, compared to other senses, is extremely passive and highly susceptible to external influences (such as sound and music) that arouse emotions (πάθη).
2. §91.1πασῶν — Genitive plural feminine of the adjective πᾶς ("all"). It functions as a genitive of comparison (or partitive genitive) with the superlative παθητικωτάτην, with the plural noun αἰσθήσεων ("of all [senses]") omitted, referring back to the feminine noun αἴσθησις (sense).
