200. φιλομηδέα. κατὰ μὲν τὸ μυθικὸν οὕτως ἐτυμολογεῖ ὁ ποιητής, καὶ οὐ χρεία καὶ ἡμᾶς ἐτυμολογεῖν τοῦτο. κατὰ δὲ τὴν ἀλληγορίαν οὕτως ἂν ἐτυμολογηθείη. δέον γὰρ ἐν μήδεσιν, ἤγουν ἐν βουλαῖς γίνεσθαι τὰ τοιαῦτα, ἤγουν μετὰ σκέψεως καὶ ἐξετάσεως, ἢ ὅτι φιλοῦσιν, ἤγουν εἰώθασιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι βουλευόμενοι ἐκτελεῖν τὰ τοιαῦτα. ἐνθυμούμενοι γὰρ ὕστερον πράττουσιν.
