4.11

"The characteristics of all formations [are concurrent], and perhaps acquisition": "all formations" refers to all conditioned phenomena, which are of four kinds: matter, mind, mental factors, and formations not associated with mind. "Characteristics" refers to the four characteristics. These formations necessarily arise together with the four conditioned characteristics; hence the two words "necessarily concurrent" from the previous line carry over here, meaning it should read "the characteristics of all formations are necessarily concurrent." "Perhaps acquisition": "acquisition" refers to the acquisition of all formations; that is, among all formations, only sentient phenomena arise together with acquisition, which does not apply to non-sentient phenomena, and therefore it says "perhaps." Up to this point, the two different sections together conclude the first part, directly explaining simultaneous arising.
