…ουλή, χλιδή ὁ κόσμος. * Τὰ εἰς 'δη' ὑπερδισύλλαβα κύρια βαρύνεται, Χαρμάνδη πόλις πέραν τοῦ Εὐφράτου. Σοφαίνετος ἐν Κύρου ἀναβάσει »ἐπὶ δὲ ταῖς Βαβυλωνίαις πύλαις πέραν τοῦ Εὐφράτου ποταμοῦ πόλις ᾤκιστο ὄνομα Χαρμάνδη«. Ἀγαμήδη τόπος περὶ Πύρραν τῆς Λέσβου ἀπὸ Ἀγαμήδης τῆς Μάκαρος, τῆς καὶ Πύρρας ἐπίκλησιν. ἔστι καὶ κρήνη Ἀγαμήδη, ὡς Νικόλαος εʹ. Τὰ εἰς 'θη' δισύλλαβα βαρύνεται, εἰ μὴ ἰαμβικὰ εἴη τῷ 'ο' παραληγόμενα, μάλθη ὁ κηρός, τήθη, τίτθη, Ξάνθη οὕτως ἡ Τρῳάς ἐκαλεῖτο.
