[295] （“ἡ διπλῆ”) “ὅτι κοινὸν τὸ ἐπιτέλλεο καὶ ὁ γὰρ περισσός. οὕτως δὲ γίνεται περισσὸς ὁ ἑξῆς: διὸ ἀθετεῖται”, Ariston. (emended by Cobet); i.e. Ar. obelized 296 on the ground that “σήμαινε” had been added in order to supply a verb which was wrongly supposed to be required by the second clause of 295. This is a fertile source of interpolation of whole lines; e.g. 24.558, 21.570.
