Quotation
τὸ μέντοι τῶν ὀβολῶν ὄνομα οἱ μὲν ὅτι πάλαι βουπόροις ὀβελοῖς ἐχρῶντο πρὸς τὰς ἀμοιβάς, […]· Ἀριστοτέλης δὲ ταὐτὸν λέγων] ἐν Σικυωνίων πολιτείᾳ σμικρόν τι καινοτομεῖ, ὀφελοὺς αὐτοὺς τέως ὠνομάσθαι λέγων, τοῦ μὲν ὀφέλλειν δηλοῦντος τὸ αὔξειν, αὐτῶν δὲ διὰ τὸ εἰς μῆκος ηὐξῆσθαι ὧδε κληθέντων. ὅθεν καὶ τὸ ὀφείλειν ὠνομάσθαι φησὶν οὐκ οἶδ’ ὅπως· ἐπὶ μέντοι τῶν ὀβελῶν ὑπηλλάχθαι τὸ φ εἰς τὸ β κατὰ συγγένειαν
