Sed quoniam in hoc de paucis rebus verba feci plura, de pluribus rebus verba faciam pauca, et potissimum quae in Graeca lingua putant Latina, ut scalpere a skaleuein, sternere a stronnyein, lingere a lichmasthai, i ab ithi, ite ab ite, gignitur a gignetai, ferte a pherete, providere a proidein, errare ab errein, ab eo quod dicunt strangalan strangulare, tinguere a tengein. Praeterea depsere a depsesai; ab eo quod illi malassein nos malaxare, ut gargarissare ab anagargarizesthai, putere a pythesthai, domare a damazein, mulgere ab amelgein, pectere a pekein, stringere a stlengizein: id enim a stlengis, ut runcinare a runcina, cuius rhykane origo Graeca.
