(3) Καὶ μάλιστα εἴωθεν ὁ ἀστερίσκος τίθεσθαι, ἐὰν ἑτερόμετρον ᾖ τὸ ᾆσμα τὸ ἑξῆς· ὃ καὶ [μᾶλλον] ἐπὶ τῶν ποιημάτων τῶν μονοστροφικῶν γίνεται Σαπφοῦς τε καὶ Ἀνακρέοντος καὶ Ἀλκαίου· ἐπὶ δὲ τῶν Ἀλκαίου ἰδίως κατὰ μὲν τὴν Ἀριστοφάνειον ἔκδοσιν ἀστερίσκος ἐπὶ ἑτερομετρίας ἐτίθετο μόνης, κατὰ δὲ τὴν νῦν τὴν Ἀριστάρχειον καὶ ἐπὶ ποιημάτων μεταβολῆς.
