Dicimus enim ‘unum alfa’, ‘unum 25beta’, ‘unum gamma’; sic et aliae litterae; plurali ‘duo alfa’, ‘duo 1beta’, ‘duo gamma’; sic ‘tria alfa’, ‘tria beta’, ‘tria gamma’. Inde 2est illud ‘τρία κάππα κάκιστα’, id est ‘tria cappa pessima’, de 3Cornelio Sylla, de Cornelio Cinna, de Cornelio Lentulo. Hii 4enim ‹per› tres litteras tyranni designati sunt in libris Sibyllinis. 5Est et unum nomen generis neutri in ‘a’, ut ‘flumen Turia’, 6ut supra diximus. 317De genere communi.

Ad hanc formulam declinantur 11‘sospes’, ‘dives’, ‘locuples’, ‘hospes’, licet ‘hospitam’ dixerit Virgilius, 12‘hospita tellus’, 13‘miles’, ‘veles’ (levis armaturae miles), ‘interpres’, ‘ales’, ‘praepes’, 14‘praes’ (id est ‘fideiussor’) et cetera. 3416Exit et in ‘is’, ut ‘similis’: nom. ‘hic’ et ‘haec similis’, gen. 17‘huius similis’, dat. ‘huic simili’, acc. ‘hunc’ et ‘hanc similem’, 18voc. ‘o similis’, abl. ‘ab hoc’ et ‘ab hac simili’ et plur. nom. ‘hi’ et 19‘hae similes’, gen. ‘horum’ et ‘harum similium’, dat. ‘his simili- 20bus’, acc. ‘hos’ et ‘has similes’, voc. ‘o similes’, abl. ‘ab his similibus’. 21Ad hanc formulam declinantur ‘agilis’, ‘facilis’, ‘fragilis’, 22‘vilis’, ‘nobilis’, ‘mobilis’, ‘dulcis’, ‘humilis’, ‘mitis’, ‘lenis’, ‘levis’, 23‘mollis’, ‘civis’, ‘testis’, ‘hostis’, ‘tristis’, ‘fortis’, ‘suavis’, ‘frugalis’, 24‘crudelis’, ‘inanis’, ‘gracilis’, ‘inmanis’ et cetera. 3525Exit per ‘os’, ut ‘sacerdos’: nom. ‘hic’ et ‘haec sacerdos’, 26gen. ‘huius sacerdotis’, dat. ‘huic sacerdoti’, acc. ‘hunc’ et ‘hanc 27sacerdotem’, voc. ‘o sacerdos’, abl. ‘ab hoc’ et ‘ab hac sacerdote’ 1et plur. nom. ‘hi’ et ‘hae sacerdotes’, gen. ‘horum’ et ‘harum sacerdotum’, 2dat. ‘his sacerdotibus’, acc. ‘hos’ et ‘has sacerdotes’, 3voc. ‘o sacerdotes’, abl. ‘ab his sacerdotibus’.

Sed ideo in ‘tis’ 12syllabam exeunt, non in ‘pis’, ut ‘principis’, ‘mancipis’, quia a 13capitis significatione veniunt, illa autem superiora a capiendi 14sig­nificatione. ‘Princeps’ enim dictus est, quod primus capiat, et 15‘manceps’, quod manu capiat; ‘anceps’ autem dictus est, quod 16dubii capitis sit vel inclinati capitis in utramque partem.
