For Proclus, the subject of Parmenides’ hypothesis is the One and the verb <em>to be</em> has an existential meaning. Modern commentators acknowledge the existential function of the verb, but propose different subjects. I try to explain why I give a predicative function to the verb <em>to be, </em>giving <em>the world</em> as its subject, <em>one </em>being the predicate.
