ἀλλʼ εἰ μὲν ὡς φύσει θηλυκοῦ καθεστῶτος, ἐπεὶ οὐδὲν φύσει θηλυκόν ἐστι καθὼς παρεστήσαμεν, ἀδιάφορον τὸ ὅσον ἐπὶ τούτῳ ἐάν τε οὕτως ἐάν τε ἐκείνως ἐκφέρηται· εἰ δʼ ὡς ὑπὸ τῆς κοινῆς συνηθείας ἀντὶ θη- λυκοῦ θεματισθέν, γενήσεται τοῦ τε εὖ λεγομένου καὶ μὴ κριτήριον οὐχὶ τεχνικός τις καὶ γραμματικὸς λόγος ἀλλʼ ἡ ἄτεχνος καὶ ἀφελὴς τῆς συνηθείας παρατήρησις.
