τάχα δέ, ὥς φασιν οἱ περὶ τὸν Ἀσκληπιάδην (FHG III 299 Mueller), καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπὸ μέν γραμμάτων ὠνόμιασται, οὐκ ἀπὸ τού- των δέ ἀφʼ ὧν καὶ ἡ γραμματιστική, ἀλλʼ ἐκείνη μέν, ὡς ἔφην, ἀπὸ τῶν στοιχείων, αὕτη δέ ἀπὸ τῶν συγγραμ- μάτων περὶ οἷς πονεῖται. γράμματα γὰρ καὶ ταῦτα προσ- ηγορεύετο, καθὰ καὶ δημόσια καλοῦμεν γράμματα, καὶ πολλῶν τινὰ γραμμάτων ἔμπειρον ὑπάρχειν φαμέν, τουτ- έστιν οὐ τῶν στοιχείων ἀλλὰ τῶν συγγραμμάτων.
