[9]
ἀντίθεσις μὲν οὖν τὸ τοιοῦτον ἐστίν, παρίσωσις δ᾽ ἐὰν
ἴσα τὰ κῶλα, παρομοίωσις δὲ ἐὰν ὅμοια τὰ ἔσχατα ἔχῃ ἑκάτερον τὸ κῶλον: ἀνάγκη δὲ ἢ ἐν ἀρχῇ ἢ ἐπὶ τελευτῆς ἔχειν, καὶ ἐν ἀρχῇ μὲν ἀεὶ τὰ ὀνόματα, ἐπὶ δὲ τελευτῆς τὰς ἐσχάτας συλλαβὰς ἢ τοῦ αὐτοῦ ὀνόματος πτώσεις ἢ τὸ αὐτὸ ὄνομα: ἐν ἀρχῇ μὲν τὰ τοιαῦτα, “ἀγρὸν γὰρ ἔλαβεν ἀργὸν
παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ”, “δωρητοί τ᾽ ἐπέλοντο παράρρητοί τ᾽ ἐπέεσσιν:
” Hom. Il. 9.526 ἐπὶ τελευτῆς δέ “ᾠήθης ἂν αὐτὸν οὐ παιδίον τετοκέναι, ἀλλ᾽ αὐτὸν παιδίον γεγονέναι”, “ἐν πλείσταις δὲ φροντίσι καὶ ἐν ἐλαχίσταις ἐλπίσιν”. πτώσεις δὲ ταὐτοῦ “ἀξιοῖ δὲ σταθῆναι
χαλκοῦς, οὐκ ἄξιος ὢν χαλκοῦ;” ταὐτὸ δ᾽ ὄνομα “σὺ δ᾽ αὐτὸν καὶ ζῶντα ἔλεγες κακῶς καὶ νῦν γράφεις κακῶς”. ἀπὸ συλλαβῆς δέ “τί ἂν ἔπαθες δεινόν, εἰ ἄνδρ᾽ εἶδες ἀργόν;” ἔστιν δὲ ἅμα πάντα ἔχειν ταὐτό,
καὶ ἀντίθεσιν εἶναι τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ πάρισον καὶ ὁμοιοτέλευτον. αἱ δ᾽ ἀρχαὶ τῶν περιόδων σχεδὸν ἐν τοῖς Θεοδεκτείοις ἐξηρίθμηνται.
