Abstract
Aristotle begins Chapter A20 with a sweeping overview about contingency in the third figure. There are, he tells us, deductions from Q+Q premise combinations (A20). There are deductions from X+Q and Q+X premise combinations (A21). In all these cases we reach a conclusion about possibility. And there are third figure deductions from L+Q and Q+L premise combinations
