Στίχοι δημώδεις. Λογισμὸς, τῆς Ἑρμογένους τέχνης,
τῶν στάσεων εὑρέσεων τῶν ἰδεῶν μεθόδων.
※ Ζητήσεις τὲ καὶ λογισμοὶ ταῦτα, τοῦ Ἑρμογένους ||
ὧν ὑπισχνεῖται μὲν εἰπεῖν ἢ λέγει δ᾽ ἠ οὔ λέγει·
ἐν οἷς τινὲς χοιρόφρονες, τ(ὸν) τζέτζην αἰτιῶντ(αι)
τὸν ἑρμογένη λέγοντες, πάντα καλ(ῶς) συγγράψαι·
καὶ περὶ ὧν ὑπέσχετο, πάντα καλῶς διδάξαι
τζέτζην οὐ συνηκέναι δε· ὡς εἰ ἐγὼ ἐκεῖνοι·
τζέτζης ἦσαν ἐκεῖνοι δε· τῷ ἐναντίῳ τρόπῳ:
καὶ δὴ σκοπεῖτε σύμπαντες τ(ίς) χοιριᾷ κιρκαί(ως)·
ὁ τζέτζης, ἢ οἱ βούβαλοι (καὶ) χοιροκράνου γένους·
ἐντεῦθεν ἐκ τῶν στάσεων λοιπ(όν) μοι καταρκτέ(ον):

Comment Pizzone (2020: 668): 'The text states unequivocally that this section of the Logismoi (...) was produced in response to the allegations of fellow rhetoricians who blamed him for his poor understanding and control of Hermogenes’ text.'

As there is no image available for f. 222v, Pizzone (2020: 668) remains text source for the first three verses.
