Ἅπας τοίνυν λόγος ἔννοιάν τε ἔχει πάντως τινὰ ἢ ἐννοίας καὶ μέθοδον περὶ τὴν ἔννοιαν καὶ λέξιν, ἣ τούτοις ἐφήρμοσται. τῆς δʼ αὖ λέξεως ἐχούσης πάντως τινὰ καὶ αὐτῆς ἰδιότητα πάλιν αὗ σχήματά τέ ἐστί τινα καὶ κῶλα συνθέσεις τε καὶ ἀναπαύσεις καὶ τὸ ἐξ ἀμφοῖν τούτοιν συνιστάμενον ὁ ῥυθμός· ἡ γὰρ ποιὰ σύνθεσις τῶν τοῦ λόγου μερῶν καὶ τὸ ὡδί πως ἀναπεπαῦσθαι τὸν λόγον ἀλλὰ μὴ ὡδὶ ποιεῖ τὸ τοιόνδε ἀλλὰ μὴ τοιόνδε εἶναι τὸν ῥυθμόν.
