ὀλίγων τῶν λοιπῶν οὐκ ἔχουσιν εἰ δέ καὶ τὸ ληφθέν ἐστι πλεῖστον καὶ τὸ καταλειφθὲν ἔλασσον, οὐκέτι τὸ πᾶν γίνεται ἄπειρον. ὅμως δʼ οὖν, ἵνα μηδέν περὶ τούτων ἀκριβευώμεθα, ψεῦδός ἐστι τὸ τὰ πλεῖστα τῶν παρὰ ποιηταῖς τε καὶ συγγραφεῦσι λεγομένων γινώσκειν τὸν γραμματικόν ἐλάχιστα γὰρ ἦν, πολλαπλασιόνων ἀπολει- πομένων ὃ οὐκ οἶδε, κσθὼς προβαινούσης τῆς ζητήσεως παραστήσω. τὰ νῦν δὲ ἄλλην ἀπόδοσιν θεωρητέον.
