τὸ δὲ στοιχεῖον αὐτό, ἀφ’ οὗ τὸ γράμμα σὺν τῇ ἐκφωνήσει τῇ ἁαυτοῦ κατῆλθε κάτω, γραμμάτων φησὶν εἶσὶν τριάκοντα, καὶ ἒν ἕκαστον τῶν τριάκοντα γραμμάτων ἐν ἑαυτῷ ἔχειν ἕτερα γράμματα, δι᾿ ὡν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ γράμματος ὀνομάζεται, καὶ μὴν πάλιν τὰ ἕτερα δι᾿ ἄλλων ὀνομάζεσθαι γραμμάτων, καὶ τὰ ἄλλα δι᾿ ἄλλων, ὥστε εἰς ἄπειρον ἐκπίπτειν τὸ πλῆθος, ἰδίᾳ τῶν γραμμάτων γραφέντων.
