Et primae quidem personae primitiuum est ‘ego’ et reliqui casus sequentes2…‘sui,’ quod nominatiuo caret, quomodo ‘ἑαυτοῦ[1]’ apud Graecos3. Et ea quidem octo pronomina sunt primitiua uel simplicia4.
Quaeritur tamen, cur prima quidem persona et secunda singula5 habeant pronomina… …tertia uero persona modo demostratiua est, ut ‘hic,’ ‘iste,’ modo relatiua6, ut ‘is,’ ‘ipse,’ modo praesens iuxta7, ut ‘iste8,’ modo absens uel longe posita, ut ‘ille9.’ Si enim super10 omnes alias partes orationis11 finit12 personas pronomen, rectissime13 tertiarum quoque personarum differentia distincte profertur, quae plurimas habet diuersitates14. Vnde non irrationabiliter tertias uerborum personas infinitas Appollonius dicit15,16, cum nulla in eis

For though a verb signifies person, it was not invented to signify person, but to signify a person’s action, principaliter, although it signifies person consequenter. 12. if it determines. 13. right is their difference because they define persons. 14. in words and meaning. 15. i.e. because third persons of a verb do not define person, but it is the action of person which they signify, from the fact that there is variety on the aforesaid and there is not on the third person of verbs.
