quid stlocum stlitesque? quid T litterae cum D quaedam cognatio? quare minus mirum, si in vetustis operibus urbis nostrae et celebribus templis legantur Alexanter et Cassantra. quid O atque V permutatae invicem, ut Hecoba et nutrix Culchidis et Pulixena scriberentur, ac, ne in Graecis id tantum notetur, dederont ac probaveront? sic Ὀδυσσεύς, quem Ὀλισσέα fecerant Aeolis, ad Ulixem deductus est.
