Here’s how you can categorize each of the items:
**Aristotle:**
- Geocentric
- Planets fixed on nested spheres
**Ptolemy:**
- Planets fixed on epicycles
- Accurately predicted the positions of the planets
**Both (or could be related to both):**
- Geocentric (this concept is often associated with Aristotle but was also part of Ptolemy's model)
So the final categorization is:
- **Planets fixed on nested spheres** – Aristotle
- **Geocentric** – Aristotle (Also related to Ptolemy)
- **Planets fixed on epicycles** – Ptolemy
- **Accurately predicted the positions of the planets** – Ptolemy
