31. E. Gud. 205, 32 collato E. M. 372, 28: ἐρείπω καὶ ἐρείπια: καὶ λέγει ὁ Δίδυμοϲ, ὅτι διὰ τοῦ ι ὤφειλε γράφεϲθαι, ἐπειδὴ παρὰ τὸ ἐρίπνη ἐϲτίν, ὅπερ ϲημαίνει τὴν μεγάλωϲ περιπνεομένην. τὸ δὲ ἐρίπνη διὰ τοῦ ι παρὰ τὴν ερι ἐπίταϲιν. ὁ δὲ Φιλόξενοϲ λέγει, ὥϲ φηϲιν ὁ τεχνικόϲ, ὅτι ἐρίπω διὰ τοῦ ι ὤφειλεν, ὡϲ καὶ ὁ Δίδυμόϲ φηϲιν. εἰπὼν δὲ «ὤφειλεν» ἐδήλωϲεν οὐ διὰ τοῦ ι γράφεϲθαι, ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆϲ ει διφθόγγου τῆϲ παραδόϲεωϲ οὕτωϲ ἐχούϲηϲ· ἔϲτι δὲ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἔρα ἡ γῆ ἐρέπτω καὶ πλεοναϲμῷ τοῦ ι καὶ ἀποβολῇ τοῦ τ ἐρείπω.
