ἀλλὰ φυσικὸν μέν κριτήριον εἰς τὸ ἑλληνι- κὸν καὶ τὸ μὴ τοιοῦτον οὐδὲν ἔχομεν· τοῦ γὰρ λττικοῦ τὸ τάριχος λέγοντος ὡς ἑλληνικὸν καὶ τοῦ Πελοποννησίου ὁ τάριχος προφερομένου ὡς ἀδιάστροφον, καὶ τοῦ μέν τὴν στάμνον ὀνομάζοντος τοῦ δέ τὸν στάμνον, οὐδὲν ἔχει ἐξ ἑαυτοῦ κριτήριον πιστὸν ὀ γραμματικὸς εἰς τὸ οὕτως ἀλλὰ μὴ οὕτως δεῖν λέγειν, εἰ μὴ ἄρα τὴν ἑκάστου συν- ήθειαν, ἥτις οὔτε τεχνικὴ οὐτε φυσική ἐστιν.
