[151] συνωνυμία δὲ καθ’ ἑνὸς ὑποκειμένου πολλά. ἡ κυνὸς φωνὴ πάντως ὁμώνυμος ἐμφερομένων πλειόνων ἀνομοίων, ἃ δι’ αὐτῆς σημαίνεται· τό τε γὰρ χερσαῖον ὑλακτικὸν ζῷον κύων καὶ θὴρ ὁ θαλάττιος καὶ ὁ οὐράνιος ἀστήρ, ὃν ὀπωρινὸν οἱ ποιηταὶ καλοῦσιν, ὅτι τῆς ὀπώρας ἄρτι ἡβώσης ἐπιτέλλει τοῦ τελεσφορηθῆναί τε χάριν αὐτὴν
καὶ πεπανθῆναι, καὶ προσέτι ὁ ἀπὸ τῆς κυνικῆς αἱρέσεως ὁρμηθεὶς φιλόσοφος, Ἀρίστιππος καὶ Διογένης καὶ ἄλλων οἳ τὰ αὐτὰ ἐπιτηδεύειν ἠξίωσαν ἀπερίληπτος ἀριθμὸς ἀνθρώπων.

[151] For instance, the name of dog is beyond all question a homonymy, inasmuch as it comprehends many dissimilar things which are signified by that appellation. For there is a terrestrial barking animal called a dog; there is also a marine monster with the same name: there is also the star in heaven, which the poets call the autumnal star, because it rises at the beginning of autumn, for the sake of ripening the fruits and bringing them to perfection. Moreover, there were the philosophers who came from the cynic school. Aristippus and Diogenes; and others too who chose to practise the same mode of life, an incalculable number of men.
