Τοῖς περὸ γραμματικῆς διεξοδευθεῖσιν ἡμῖν ἀκόλουθον ἂν εἴη καὶ περὶ ῥητορικῆς λέγειν, ἀνδρικωτέρας ἤδη καθ- εστώσης καὶ τὸ πλέον ἐπʼ ἀγορᾶς καὶ βημάτων ἐξεταζο- μένης. ἀλλʼ ἐπεὶ κοινὸν ὑπάρξεως τε καὶ ἀνυπαρξίας ἐστὶν ἡ ἔννοια, καὶ οὐδὲν τούτων ἕτερον οἷόν τέ ἐστι ζητεῖν μὴ προλαβόντας ὅ ἐστι τὸ ζητούμενον, φέρε πρῶτον σκε- ψώμεθα τί ἂν εἴη ῥητορική, τὰς ἐπιφανεστάτας εἰς τοῦτο τῶν φιλοσόφων ἀποδόσεις παρατιθέμενοι.
