ὅταν οὖν λέ- γωσιν αὐτὴν ἐμπειρίαν κατὰ τὸ πλεῖστον τῶν παρὰ ποιη- ταῖς καὶ συγγραφεῦσι λεγομένων, φασὶ πάντων τινῶν. καὶ εἰ πάντων, [πρῶτον μὲν] οὐκέτι κατὰ τὸ πλεῖστον ἀλλὰ πάντων, καὶ εἰ πάντων, καὶ τῶν ἀπείρων· ἄπειρα γάρ ἐσπι ταῦτα. τῶν δὲ ἀπείρῶν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐμπειρία· διόπερ οὐδέ γραμματική τις γενήσεται. εἰ δὲ τινῶν, ἐπεὶ καὶ οἱ ἰδιῶταί τινα τῶν παρὰ ποιηταῖς καὶ συγγραφεῦσι λεγομέ- νων εἰδότες οὐκ ἔχουσι γραμματικὴν ἐμπειρίαν, οὐδὲ ταύ- τῃ εἶναι λεκτέον γραμματικήν.
