Σημεῖον δέ: εἰ γὰρ διαλύσειας τὴν σύνθεσιν τοῦ ἐνθυμήματος, τὴν μὲν περίοδον ἠφάνισας, τὸ δ̓ ἐνθύμημα ταὐτὸν μένει, οἷον εἴ τις τὸ παρὰ Δημοσθένει διαλύσειεν ἐνθύμημα τὸ τοιοῦτον, ῾ὥσπερ γὰρ εἴ τις ἐκείνων ἑάλω, σὺ τάδ̓ οὐκ ἂν ἔγραψας: οὕτως ἂν σὺ νῦν ἁλῷς, ἄλλος οὐ γράψει:᾿ διαλύσειεν δὲ οὕτω: ῾μὴ ἐπιτρέπετε τοῖς τὰ παράνομα γράφουσιν: εἰ γὰρ ἐκωλύοντο, οὐκ ἂν νῦν οὗτος ταῦτα ἔγραφεν, οὐδ̓ ἕτερος ἔτι γράψει τούτου νῦν ἁλόντος:᾿ ἐνταῦθα τῆς περιόδου μὲν ὁ κύκλος ἐκλέλυται, τὸ δ̓ ἐνθύμημα ἐν ταὐτῷ μένει.
