παρὸ καὶ διχῶς τοῦ αὐτοῦ πράγματος λεγομένου πειρασόμεθα πρὸς τὰ παρόντα ὰρμοζόμενοι πρόσωπα τὸ μὴ γελώμενον προ- φέρεσθαι, ὁποῖόν ποτʼ ἂν ἤη κατὰ τὴν φύσιν. οἷον τὸ αὐτὸ ἀρτοφόριον καὶπανάριον λέγεται, καὶ πάλιν τὸ αὐτὸ σταμινίον καὶ ἀμίδιον καὶ ἴγδις καὶ θυῖα. ἀλλὰ στοχαζό- μενοι τοῦ καλῶς ἔχοντος καὶ σαφῶς καὶ τοῦ μιὴ γελᾶσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν διακονούντων ἡμῖν παιδαρίων [καὶ ἰδιωτῶν] πα- νάριον ἐροῦμεν, καὶ εἰ βάρβαρόν ἐστιν, ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἀρτοφο- ρίδα, καὶ σταμνίον, ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἀμίδα, καὶ θυῖαν μᾶλλον ἢ ἴγδιν.
