ἔνδον καὶ ἔσω διαφέρει. ἔνδον μὲν γὰρ τὸ ἐν τόπῳ σημαίνει, ἔσω δὲ τὸ εἰς τόπον. ἔνδον μὲν γάρ ἐστιν ὁ παῖς, ἔσω δὲ εἰσέρχομαι. ἁμαρτάνει οὖν ὁ λέγων ‘ἔνδον εἰσέρχομαι’ ἢ ‘ἔαω ἐστὶν ὁ παῖς’. Σοφοκλῆς τὴν διαφορὰν συγχεῖ· φησὶ γὰρ ἐν Τραχινίαις (202 sq.) ‘γυναῖκες αἵ τ᾿ ἔσω στέγης αἵ τʼ ἐκτός’, δέον εἰπεῖν ‘γυναῖκες αἵ τʼ ἔνδον’. καὶ Εὐριπίδης ἐν Ἡρακλείδῃ (Heraclidae 584) ‘καὶ τὸν γέροντα τήν τ᾿ ἔσω γραῖαν δόμων’ ἀντὶ τοῦ ἔνδον. Εὔβουλος ὁ τῆς μέσης κωμῳδίας ποιητὴς ἐν Καλαθηφόροις (III p. 224 M. = fr. 40 K.) ‘ὅπως σπεύσεσθ᾿ ὅτι τις γέρων ἔσω’, δέον εἰπεῖν ἔνδον.
