Κατὰ δὲ τὰ ὀνόματα μόνον ἀντικείμενα κῶλα τοιάδε ἐστίν, οἷον ὡς ὁ τὴν Ἑλένην παραβαλὼν τῷ Ἡρακλεῖ φησιν, ὅτι τῷ μὲν ἐπίπονον καὶ πολυκίνδυνον τὸν βίον ἐποίησεν, τῆς δὲ περίβλεπτον καὶ περιμάχητον τὴν φύσιν κατέστησεν. ἀντίκειται γὰρ καὶ ἄρθρον ἄρθρῳ, καὶ σύνδεσμος συνδέσμῳ, ὅμοια ὁμοίοις, καὶ τἄλλα δὲ κατὰ τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον, τῷ μὲν ἐποίησεν τὸ κατέστησεν, τῷ δὲ ἐπίπονον τὸ περίβλεπτον, τῷ δὲ πολυκίνδυνον τὸ περιμάχητον, καὶ ὅλως ἓν πρὸς ἕν, ὅμοιον παρ’ ὅμοιον, ἡ ἀνταπόδοσις.
