ἁμαρτάνουσι· τοῖς μὲν γὰρ ὥσπερ ἐξ ἀνατομῆς περινοηθεῖσι κύριαι προσρήσεις ἕπονται, τοῖς δ’ ὑποσυγκεχυμένοις οὐ σφόδρα ἠκριβωμέναι.

[1] 1 "And Noah began to be a husbandman; and he planted a vineyard, and he drank of the wine, and he was drunk in his house." ¹ The generality of men not understanding the nature of things, do also of necessity err with respect to the composition of names; for those who consider affairs anatomically, as it were, are easily able to affix appropriate names to things, but those who look at them in a confused and irregular way are incapable of such accuracy.
