This paper considers what function—if any—colocation of bodies may have in the Stoic theory of blending ( κρᾶσις ), by examining (1) whether colocation is part of the definition of what blending is; and (2) whether colocation is posited by the Stoics as a requirement necessary for the definition to be satisfied. I reconstruct the standard, Chrysippean definition of blending, and I show that the answer to (1) is ‘no’; further, I argue that the evidence gives no reason to affirm (2). Thus, it appears that colocation does not have a central function in the Stoic theory of blending
