olim plura de figuris quam necesse erat, et adhuc erunt, qui putent esse figuram: incredibile est, ( quod dico, sed verum; ἀνθυποφοράν vocant; et aliquis hoc semel tulit, nemo bis, ego ter, διέξοδον et longius evectus sum sed redeo ad propositum, ἄφοδον. quaedam verborum figurae paulum figuris sententiarum declinantur, ut dubitatio. nam cum est in re, priori parti adsignanda est, cum in verbo, sequenti; sive me malitiam sive stultitiam dicere oportet.
