ὅτι μὲν οὖν ἅπασα λέξις εἰς δύο μέρη διαιρεῖται
τὰ πρῶτα, εἴς τε τὴν ἐκλογὴν τῶν ὀνομάτων, ὑφ᾽ ὧν
δηλοῦται τὰ πράγματα, καὶ εἰς τὴν σύνθεσιν τῶν ἐλαττόνων
τε καὶ μειζόνων μορίων, καὶ ὅτι τούτων αὖθις
ἑκάτερον εἰς ἕτερα μόρια διαιρεῖται, ἡ μὲν ἐκλογὴ τῶν
στοιχειωδῶν μορίων “ὀνοματικῶν λέγω καὶ ῥηματικῶν
καὶ συνδετικῶν” εἴς τε τὴν κυρίαν φράσιν καὶ εἰς τὴν
τροπικήν, ἡ δὲ σύνθεσις εἴς τε τὰ κόμματα καὶ τὰ
κῶλα καὶ τὰς περιόδους, καὶ ὅτι τούτοις ἀμφοτέροις
συμβέβηκε “λέγω δὴ τοῖς τε ἁπλοῖς καὶ ἀτόμοις ὀνόμασι
καὶ τοῖς ἐκ τούτων συνθέτοις” τὰ καλούμενα
σχήματα, καὶ ὅτι τῶν καλουμένων ἀρετῶν αἳ μέν εἰσιν
ἀναγκαῖαι καὶ ἐν ἅπασιν ὀφείλουσι παρεῖναι τοῖς λόγοις,
αἳ δ᾽ ἐπίθετοι καὶ ὅταν ὑποστῶσιν αἱ πρῶται,
τότε τὴν ἑαυτῶν ἰσχὺν λαμβάνουσιν, εἴρηται πολλοῖς
πρότερον. ὥστε οὐδὲν δεῖ περὶ αὐτῶν ἐμὲ νυνὶ
λέγειν οὐδ᾽ ἐξ ὧν θεωρημάτων τε καὶ παραγγελμάτων
τούτων τῶν ἀρετῶν ἑκάστη γίνεται, πολλῶν
ὄντων: καὶ γὰρ ταῦτα τῆς ἀκριβεστάτης τέτευχεν ἐξεργασίας.
