Ὅτι μὲν οὖν ἀξιοῦται τοῦτο ὁλοσχερῶς εἶναι μέρος γραμματικῆς, συμφανές. Τ αυρίσκος γοῦν ὁ Κράτητος (F 18 Mette) ἀκουστής, ὤσπερ οἱ ἄλλοι κριτικοὶ ὑπο- τάσσων τῇ κριτικῇ τὴν γραμματικήν, φησὶ τῆς κριτικῆς εἶναι τὸ μέν τι λογικὸν τὸ δὲ τριβικὸν τὸ δʼ ἱστορικόν, λογικὸν μὲν τὸ στρεφόμενον περὶ τὴν λέξιν καὶ τοὺς γραμ- ματικοὺς τρόπος, τριβικὸν δέ τὸ περὶ τὰς διαλέκτους καὶ τὰς διαφορὰς τῶν πλασμάτων καὶ χαρακτήρων, ἱστο- ρικὸν δὲ τὸ περὶ τὴν προχειρότητα τῆς ἀμεθόδου ῦλης.
