51a. κρατὶ δ’ ἐπὶ κτιδέην κυνέην: ἀπὸ τοῦ κ ἡ ἀρχή, ἐπεὶ ἐν ἑτέροιϲ «τοῦ δ’ ἀπὸ μὲν κτιδέην » (κ 458). τοῦτο δὲ κατὰ ἀφαίρεϲιν τοῦ ι λέγεται παρὰ τῷ ποιητῇ· ἴκτιϲ γάρ ἐϲτιν, ὡϲ Νίκανδροϲ ἴκτιδοϲ ἣ τ’ ὄρνιϲιν» (Ther. 196). τὸ γὰρ μονοϲύλλαβον οὐ δύναται κατ’ ἔκταϲιν οὔτε κατὰ ϲυϲτολὴν λέγεϲθαι. οὔτε γὰρ ἐκτείνεται ὡϲ κρηπῖδοϲ ψηφῖδοϲ· ταῦτα γὰρ ὑπὲρ μίαν ϲυλλαβήν· οὔτε ϲυϲτέλλεται· ἀρκεῖ γὰρ τὸ τίϲ. Schol. ΑD ad Π. Κ 335.
