degente⁷, optans dicam: ‘utinam Romae filius meus legisset auctores, propter quos nunc ibi moratur⁸’… Possumus tamen hoc uti modo etiam osten­dentes, quae optamus non euenisse⁹… …‘utinam legerem heri¹⁰’… Potest autem iste optatiuus et inceptus¹¹ et non inceptus¹² ante intellegi. Nam si dicam: ‘utinam legerem heri quoque, quomodo nudius­tertius,’ ostendo coepisse quidem, non finisse tamen; sin autem dicam: ‘utinam legerem heri saltim¹³’ ostendo nec coepisse. Similiter¹⁴ si dicam: ‘utinam adhuc legerem,’ ostendo coepisse¹⁵ quidem in prae­terito, in praesenti autem caessare…

Cum dicimus enim ‘legere,’ significamus rem imperfectam, quae uel ad praesens uel ad praete­ritum imper­fectum attinet, cum uero ‘legisse,’ perfectam, quae sua⁴ est tam prae­teriti perfecti, quam plusquam­perfecti. Nota autem, quod uim nominis rei ipsius habet uerbum infinitum. Vnde quidam nomen uerbi hoc⁵ esse⁶ dicebant… Itaque omnis modus finitus potest per hunc modum inter­pretari⁷…
