Vocabula quae ab nominibus oriuntur, si ab similibus nominibus similia esse debent, dicemus, quoniam gemina sunt Parma Roma, ut Parmenses sic Romenses; aut quoniam est similis Roma Nola Parma, dicemus ut Romani Nolani sic Parmani; et a Pergamo, ab Ilio similiter Pergamenus Ilienus; aut ut Ilius et Ilia mas et femina, sic Pergamus et Pergama vir et mulier; et quoniam similia nomina sunt Asia Libya, dicemus Asiaticos et Libyaticos homines.
