P. 161a
…de personis.…quod non omni uerbo1…adhaerent… …‘meatim,’ ‘tuatim’; quamuis enim2 a singulari pronomine deriuantur, indeferenter tam singulari quam plurali numero uerborum coniunguntur… Nomen tamen et participium in omni casu tertiae sunt personae3 absque uocatiuo…
Sunt igitur personae uerborum tres. …tertia, de qua extra se4 et illam, ad quam derigit sermonem, posita loquitur prima, ut ‘dicit dicunt.’
P. 161b
Et prima quidem et secunda uerborum personae finitae sunt, praesentes enim demonstrantur1… …tertia2 uero etiam nominibus, quae per se tertiae personae sunt3…
In imperatiuis prima persona singularis non potest esse, quod naturaliter imperans ab eo, cui imperat, diuiditur4. Itaque quae Latini in plurali numero imperatiua primae personae accipiunt, haec Graeci ὑποθετικά uocant, id est suppositiua5 siue hortatiua6. Dicunt enim, quod superior debet ostendi7 qui imperat eo cui imperat, hic autem suam quoque coniungens personam8, similem se sociumque in hac ipsa re, de qua imperat, ostendit futurum illis quibus imperat, ut ‘pugnemus,’ ‘legamus,’ quasi ad socios uidetur hoc modo uti9. Itaque10 melius illis uisum est hanc personam numeri pluralis

P. 161a
1. i.e. not to every verb does a person happen, as impersonals and infinitives and gerunds. 2. i.e. therefore I say they have no number. 3. i.e. in construction. 4. i.e. without the third person; it is not present.
