E. M. 791, 49: δεῖ γινώϲκειν, ὅτι τὸ φήϲ ἐνεϲτώϲ ἐϲτι δευτέρου προϲώπου καὶ ϲὺν τῷ ι γράφεται. καὶ ὅϲον κατ᾿ ἀναλογίαν, οὐκ ὤφειλεν ἔχειν τὸ ι· τὰ γὰρ εἰϲ μι τροπῇ τῆϲ μι εἰϲ ϲ τὸ δεύτερον ποιοῦϲιν. εἰ οὖν τὸ φημί οὐκ ἔχει τὸ ι (τὰ γὰρ εἰϲ μ οὐ θέλει διφθόγγῳ παραλήγεϲθαι χωρὶϲ τοῦ εἰμί καὶ εἶμι) δῆλον ὅτι οὐδὲ τὸ φῄϲ ὤφειλεν ἔχειν τὸ ι ἀλλὰ κατὰ παράδοϲιν ἔχει τὸ ι. — τινὲϲ δὲ θέλουϲι λέγειν ὑπὲρ τοῦ φῄϲ· ὅτι τὸν μὲν τόνον ἀπὸ τῶν εἰϲ μι ἔϲχε, τὴν δὲ γραφὴν ὡϲ ἀπὸ τῶν εἰϲ ω ἀπὸ τοῦ φῶ. τὰ γὰρ εἰϲ ω θέλειἔχειν ἐν δευτέρῳ καὶ τρίτῳ προϲώπῳ δίφθογγον μετὰ τοῦ ι· ἄλλοι δὲ θέλουϲιν αὐτὸ εἶναι Δωρικὸν ὥϲπερ τὸ ζῇϲ, οἷϲτιϲι καὶ ὁ τόνοϲ ἀντίκειται· ὤφειλε γὰρ περιϲπᾶϲθαι καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῶν ἑνικῶν. ὤφειλε γὰρ ἀποβολῇ τοῦ ϲ ποιεῖν τὸ τρίτον.
