εἰ δέ τὸν τοῦ αι φθόγγον λέγοιεν, οὐδὲν ἔσται τοιοῦτον, ἀλλʼ οἷον ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς ἐξακούεται 〈τὸ〉 τῆς φω- νῆς ἰδίωμα, τοιοῦτον καὶ ἐπὶ τέλει, ὥστε στοιχεῖον ἔσται τὸ αι. τούτου δέ οὕτως ἔχοντος, ἐπεὶ καὶ ὁ τοῦ ει φθόγγος καὶ ὁ τοῦ ου μονοειδὴς καὶ ἀσύνθετος καὶ ἀμετάβολος ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἄχρι τέλους λαμβάνεται, ἔσται καὶ οὗτος στοιχεῖον.
