2. An. Ox. lV 328, 25: Φαϲὶν ὅτι προτάττεται τὸ ὄνομα, ἐπειδὴ καὶ πᾶϲαι αἱ λέξειϲ ἐπικοίνωϲ τῇ προϲηγορίᾳ ὄνομα καλοῦνται, καθό φαμεν καλοῖϲ ὀνόμαϲι χρῆϲθαι Πλάτωνα· εἰ γὰρ ὄνομά ἐϲτι τὸ ὀνοματικὸν καὶ ϲημαντικόν, ἕκαϲτον δὲ τῶν μερῶν τοῦ λόγου ϲημαντικόν ἐϲτι καὶ ϲυϲτατικόν, δῆλον ὅτι ἕκαϲτον ὄνομα ἂν κληθείη. οὕτωϲ οὖν καὶ Διόδωροϲ ὁ ἐπικληθεὶϲ Κρόνοϲ λέγεται τὸν οἰκέτην αὐτοῦ καλεῖν Ἀλλαμήν.
