  Adverbial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adverbials typically express content that is considered to be secondary or non-essential to the sentence it appears in.
Three types of adverbial are typically recognized: adjunct, disjunct, and conjunct (although several more are proposed in various theories).
The terms "adverbial" and "adverb" are very often mistaken for each other, but do not mean the same thing.

Adverbial clauses always modify the verb in the main clause (the sentence) to which the adverbial clause is attached.
Adverbial clauses, like all subordinate clauses, are structured in the same way all sentences are structured.

 Aristotle -- Motion and its Place in Nature [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Thomas' account of the meaning of Aristotle's definition forces him to construe the grammar of the definition in such a way that the clause introduced by the dative singular feminine relative pronoun he has as its antecedent, in two cases, the neuter participle tou ontos, and in the third, the neuter substantive adjective tou dunatou.
It is true that this particular feminine relative pronoun often had an adverbial sense to which its gender was irrelevant, but in the three statements of the definition of motion there is no verb but estin.
If the clause is understood adverbially, then, the sentence must mean something like: if motion is a potentiality, it is the actuality of a potentiality.
