τῶν γὰρ ἀορίστων ἡ ἐπιστήμη δεσμός ἐστιν τὰ δὲ σημαί- νοντα καὶ cημαινόμενα τῶν πραγμάτων ἐστὶν ἄπειρα· οὐκ ἄρα ἐστὶν ἡ γραμματικὴ τέχνη περὶ τὰ σημαίνοντα καὶ σημαινόμενα. καὶ μὴν παντοῖαι γίνονται τῶν φονῶν μεταβολαὶ καὶ πρὸ τοῦ γεγόνασι καὶ εἰσαῦθις γενήσονται· φιλομετάβολον γάρ τί ἐστιν ὁ αἰών, οὐκ εἰς φυτὰ μόνον καὶ ζῷα ἀλλὰ καὶ εἰς ῥήματα.
