τὰς γὰρ λεγομένας παρʼ αὐτοῖς βραχείας συλ- λαβὰς εὑρήσομεν ὡς πρὸς αἴσθησιν μεριστάς, οἷον τὴν ερ. αἰσθητῶς γὰρ ἐπιβάλλομεν ἐπʼ αὐτῆς ὅτι προεκφωνεῖται τῆς τοῦ ρ δυνάμεως ἡ τοῦ ε δύναμις. καὶ ἐναλλάξαντες εἰ λέγοιμεν ρε, πάλιν ἀντιληψόμεθα ὅτι πρώτη μέν ἐστι κατὰ τὴν τάξιν ἡ τοῦ ρ δύναμις, δευτέρα δέ ἡ τοῦ ε.
