certa finiatur persona et profundae multi­tudinis sunt capaces¹⁷… Si enim dicam ‘scribo’ uel ‘scribis,’ in ipsa uoce definiui¹⁸ etiam personam scri­bentis et ostendi. Sin dicam ‘scribit,’ incertum quis¹⁹, donec addam uel nomen uel pronomen²⁰. Et primae quidem personae et secundae et tertiae, cum non dis­cernunt genera²¹, in­aequalem habent etiam casuum declina­tionem…

P. 197b

tertia, quae est ‘sui’ ‘sibi’ ‘se’ ‘a se’ non solum genera, sed etiam numeros confundit; nec mirum¹: nam cum relatiua^[1] sit, ex ante­cedente cog­nitione² possumus ad quod genus uel numerum³ refertur scire, quod facit in genere primae et secundae personae ipsa demon­stratio⁴ et prae­sentia utriusque⁵. Illa uero, quae dis­tingunt genera, certam habent et aequalem per utrumque numerum declina­tionis et casuum regulam, ut ‘ille,’ ‘ipse,’ ‘iste,’ et reliqua nouem⁶.

Interest autem inter demonstrationem et relationem hoc, quod demon­stratio inter­rogationi reddita primam cog­nitionem ostendit¹⁰—
