Ἔστι δὲ καὶ παρόμοια κῶλα, ἅτινα παρόμοια δὴ τοῖς ἐπ’ ἀρχῆς, οἷον δωρητοί τε πέλοντο, παράρητοί τ’ ἐπέεσσιν· ἢ ὡς ἐπὶ τέλους, ὡς ἡ τοῦ Πανηγυρικοῦ ἀρχή, πολλάκις ἐθαύμασα τῶν τὰς πανηγύρεις συναγαγόντων καὶ τοὺς γυμνικοὺς ἀγῶνας καταστησάντων. εἶδος δὲ τοῦ παρομοίου τὸ ἰσόκωλον, ἐπὰν ἴσας ἔχῃ τὰ κῶλα τὰς συλλαβάς, ὥσπερ Θουκυδίδῃ, ὡς οὔτε ὧν πυνθάνονται ἀπαξιούντων τὸ ἔργον, οἷς τε ἐπιμελὲς εἴη εἰδέναι οὐκ ὀνειδιζόντων· ἰσόκωλον μὲν δὴ τοῦτο.
