E. M. 149, 41: ἄρση ν· παρὰ τὸ ἄρδω τὸ ποτίζω καὶ τὸ μετεγχέω· ὁ γὰρ ἀνὴρ τῇ γυναικὶ ἐπαρδεύει. ἄρδω ἄρσω ἄρσην ὁ ἄρδων τὴν θήλειαν. καὶ γὰρ διὰ τοῦτο πόσις λέγεται ὁ ἀνὴρ παρὰ τὸ ποτίζειν τῇ γονῇ. ἢ παρὰ τὸ ἔρδω τὸ πράττω· ὁ μέλλων ἔρσω καὶ ἄρσην ἐξ αὐτοῦ, τουτέστιν ὁ πρακτικός. οὕτως Ἡρωδιανὸς ἐν τῷ περὶ γάμου καὶ συμβιώσεω ς.
