Pars cum parte is explicitly explained as gold and silver mixed in one body. It is therefore a material designation in this text, not merely a vague instruction about equal proportions. Its appearance in the earlier list of transmuted or prepared metals becomes clearer through this later definition, an example of a technical name requiring cross-reading within the book.
