ἄξιον δέ ἐϲτι ζητῆϲαι, διὰ τί τὰ εἰϲ μι ἀεὶ φύει μακρᾷ παραλήγεται οἶον τίθημι. λέγει δὲ ὁ Ἡρωδιανὸϲ ταύτην τὴν ἀπολογίαν ἐπειδὴ ἡ τελευταία ϲυλλαβὴ τὸν μακρὸν χρόνον ἔτρεψεν εἰϲ βραχύν (τροπῇ γὰρ τοῦ ω εἰϲ μι γίνεται) τούτου χάριν ὑπερβιβαϲμὸν ἀνεδέξατο τοῦ χρόνου, καὶ ἐποίηϲαν τὴν παραλήγουϲαν φύϲει μακράν, ἵνα τὸν μακρὸν χρόνον τὸν κεχρεωϲτημένον τῇ ληγούϲῃ ἀναδέξηται ἡ παραλήγουϲα.
