Ἢ πιέσει ἢ πλήθει. καὶ τοῦτο αὐτὸ καθ’ ἑαυτὸ γεγραμμένον ἐν τύποις ὑπὸ τοῦ συγγράψαντος τὸ βιβλίον εἰς τοῦδε σαφῶς ἐγγραφόμενος μετήνεγκεν. εἴρηται δὲ καὶ τελέως καὶ σαφῶς ἔμπροσθεν, ὡς νῦν οὐκ ἐλλειπτικῶς. χρὴ γὰρ προσυπακοῦσαι τὸ ὀθόνιον, ἵν’ ἡ λέξις ὅλη γένηται τοιαύτη. ἡ πίεσις τῷ πλήθει τῶν ὀθονίων γιγνέσθω μᾶλλον ἢ τῇ θλίψει.
