ueniuntur tamen quaedam a primae quoque declinationis nominibus1 eiusdem formae, quae a haberit ante ‘cius’: ‘gallina gallinacius2,’ ‘membrana membranacius3’…
Notandum inter haec ‘menstruus4’…
‘Longus longinquus[1]’ ideo assumpsit n ante ‘quus’ quia aliter euphoniae satisfacere non poterat5.
Inueniuntur pauca…in ‘ulcus’…‘bos bobulcus6’…
In ‘dus’ tres sunt formae:
Una quae seruat consonantem, ex qua ultima uel paenultima primitiui incipit syllaba—sed tunc paenultima, si non intercedat consonans inter ultimae et paenultimae syllabae uocales—et reliquam .. partem7 mutat in i correptam et assumit ‘dus’ ut ‘herba herbidus.’

Excipitur alternitatis causa1, quam Graeci ἐπαλληλότητα[2] uocant, unum ‘pando pandus,’ ne si ‘pandidus’ dicamus, male sonat[3] alterna d in utraque continua2 syllaba, quod in multis solent tam Graeci quam nos euitare. Non dicunt illi ‘Χαρύβδιδος’ quamuis exigat regula3, sed ‘Χαρύβδεος’… Eiusdem uitii causa non dicimus ab eo, quod est ‘mane’ ‘manunine4,’ sed ‘matutine,’ ‘uitis uinetum,’ non ‘uitetum,’ quod tamen etiam a uinea uidetur esse deriuatum5. Praeterea ‘meridies’ pro ‘medidies6’ a medio die. Sed non tamen in omnibus7 hoc8 ualet. Nam ‘candeo candidus’ facit…nisi9 quod haec secundae coniugationis in ‘deo[4]10’… Et haec quidem in ‘dus’ supra dictae

1. although I have said that they are from nouns of the second and third declension. 5. otherwise it would not be euphonious. 7. except the consonant i.e. which remains over of that syllable after the consonant.
P. 59a
1. (contrary) to cacophony, i.e. to differentiate (one) sound from another, i.e. so that the sound be harmonious. 2. when it is made contiguous (consecutive). 3. the doubling of d therein. 4. i.e. two n’s into two t’s. 5. though I say that it is from uitis. 6. though it is medius dies that is compounded therein. 7. a rule contradictory thereto is found. 8. ius, it is not always acted on. 9. save one thing in my opinion. 10. ie. peculiar to verbs of the second conjugation is the doubling of d in the nouns that are (derived) from them.
