Σημείωσαι δὲ ὅτι οὗτος μὲν τὸ τέτρηχεν ἀντὶ τοῦ τετράχυνται εἶπε, παρ' Ὁμήρῳ δὲ ἡ λέξις ἐπὶ τοῦ τεταράχθαι κεῖται ἐν τῷ «τετρήχει δ' ἀγορή.» Ὅρα δὲ ὅτι ὁλκὸν ἀκάνθης εἶπεν, ὥστε πολυσήμαντον ὁ ὁλκὸς, ὡς καὶ πρὸ μικροῦ ἐφάνη. Ἄκανθαν δὲ λέγει οὐ τὸ τοῦ κήτους ὀστοῦν τὸ ἀναλογοῦν ῥάχει, ὃ κυριολεκτεῖται καὶ ἐπὶ ἰχθύων καὶ ὄφεων· ἀλλὰ νῦν ἄκανθαν ἔστι νοῆσαι τὰ ἐπιφαινόμενα ἔξω περὶ τὴν ῥάχιν κέντρα, καὶ ἐπανεστηκότα ὡς ἐν φραγμῷ αἱμασιᾶς.
