Funny... do we really want these entries?  If so, need to update the other three as well. In daijs :)

It would seem they were created as a set.

Aristotles 4 causes:
四原因説	156    MISSING in jmdict (not in daijs, which just lists the 4 causes as I have done)
質料因	760	20.8%
形相因	727	19.9%
作用因	725	19.9%
目的因	1283	35.1%</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>四原因説
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%9B%9B%E5%8E%9F%E5%9B%A0%E8%AA%AC
質料因（羅: causa materialis) 
形相因（羅: causa formalis）
作用因（羅: causa efficiens）
目的因（羅: causa finalis）
