i; for words ending in -ines reject the diphthong ei. 9Aegina9: The name of a city, is written with an iota; for words ending in -ina reject the diphthong ei, except for peina; and these are they: Marina; Harpina; Justina; Faustina; Antonina; Constantina. 9Aergia9: Is written with an iota; for feminines formed in -ia from compound words in -os, and from simple ones in -os, not having corresponding verbs in -euo, having the accent on the antepenult, are written with an iota; for example, kakos, kakia; sophos, sophia; hyperephanos, hyperephania; eukairos, eukairia; thus also aergos, aergia; except for boethos, boetheia, and eueros, euereia; and those from verbs in -euo, [like] moicheuo, moicheia, and similar ones. 9Aios9: It means the one who hears; and is written with an iota; it comes from aïon, [becoming] aios; it means aïros; and it is the epithet. 9Algion; Aischion9: Is written with an iota; for pure comparatives in -on do not have the diphthong ei in the penultimate syllable, but the iota; aischion; bradion; tachion; idion; glykion; and similar ones; except for cheireion; argeion; pleion; meion. 9Arion9: The proper name is written with an iota, to distinguish it from the comparatives; but areios, coming from areos, that is, that which means "brave," is written with the diphthong ei. 9Akribes9: Is written with an iota; just as from aphrodyte comes Aphrodite, by the change of y to i; in the same way also from akrybes comes akribes with an iota; for no one is able to hide or escape the accurate one. 172 9Artemisios9: With an iota; the -mi is short, but the -si is with a long i; for neuters in -isios, and [feminines] in -isia, and neuters in -ision, reject the diphthong ei; that is, aphrodisios, aphrodisia, and aphrodision. 9Hapsis9: With an iota; words in -is formed from future tenses are barytone and shorten the i; as in praxo, praxis; lexo, lexis; hapso, hapsis; for the hapsis is joined together; and with an iota it is to be lengthened and oxytone; for simple words in -is lengthen the i and have the accent on the end; for example, knemis; krepis; psephis; thus also hapsis; for oxytone words in -is of more than one syllable reject the diphthong ei, except for kleis and antereis. 9Amnisos9: The river; is written with an iota; for trisyllabic words in -os, except for names of rivers, are written with an iota; for example, Amnisos; Kphisos; Ilisos; but in the case of rivers, with the diphthong ei; for example, Alpheios; Peneios; Spercheios; Olmeios. 9Akidaline9: It is the name of a spring; from Akis, Akidos. 9Akoniti; Amoiti; Amisthi9: And words similar to these are written with an iota, as adverbs; anoiti; aklausti; anetheleti; and apori, and all similar words are written with an iota; except for those ending in th; l; m; x; r; ph; ch; for these are written with the diphthong ei; for example, with th: amythei, atheei; the l: asylei; the m: pandemei; the x: autolexei; the r: ametrei; but autocheiri is with an iota; the ph: pampsephei; the ch: tristoichei; and the compounds likewise with the diphthong ei, having the t; amenytei; anidrotei; anaimotei; akeryktei; anomotei; phietei; anoteitei; aklerotei; aniditei; aklaustei; hamartei; antheoretei; anetheletei; egregoretei; ethelotei; but without these, the rest, and those similar to them, are written with an iota; Those which are changed from -os short to -os long; for example, megalos; sophos; kalos; and the like; and oionei and the pure ones are written with the diphthong ei; for example, atheei; autoboei. 173 9Aites9: Is written with an iota; for all words in -ites are written with an iota according to the rule of Askalonites; and an aites is the beloved; being as it were a certain homoitēs. 9Aitias9: It means love affairs; with an iota; just as from the masculine ho despotes comes he despotis with an iota, so also from aites [comes] he aitis, genitive aitidos, and from there aitias. 9Aphixis9: Is written with an iota; it comes from the passive verbs from aphigmai, aphixai, aphiktai; and hikanos from hikesthai, for the sufficient one is able to arrive at all things; thus also aphixis is with an iota; and otherwise: words of doubtful spelling, and having either an i or a n brought after, are written with i alone; for example, Iris; Ilion; drimys; brithys; Tiphys; rhipis; so thus aphixis is also with an iota.
