(1) Τὸ τροχαϊκὸν κατὰ μὲν τὰς περιττὰς χώρας δέχεται τροχαῖον, τρίβραχυν καὶ δάκτυλον, κατὰ δὲ τὰς ἀρτίους τούτους τε καὶ σπονδεῖον καὶ ἀνάπαιστον. Καταληκτικὸν δὲ ὅτε ἐστί, τὸν παραλήγοντα μάλιστα μὲν τροχαῖον δέχεται, ἔστι δὲ ὅτε καὶ τρίβραχυν· [καὶ] ἐὰν δὲ ᾗ βραχυκατάληκτον, οὐ βούλεται τὸν παραλήγοντα τετράσημον ἔχειν.
