Translation
[Meaning an] archetype, or a characteristic providing a conception of a perceptible matter. Note that a model [is] one thing, a parable [parabolh/ ] another.1 For there is a model whenever someone compares what is similar to what is similar, such as what is rational to what is rational. By contrast [there is] a parable whenever [someone compares] what is dissimilar to what is dissimilar, such as what is rational to what is irrational or vice versa.
Alternatively2 a model is a rational account [deriving] from the particulars and [going] to the universals.3 Or a proof that substantiates a part through a similar part.

Greek original · Adler’s text
Παράδειγμα· εἰκών, ἢ χαρακτὴρ ἔννοιαν ἔχων αἰσθητοῦ πράγματος. ἰστέον δέ, ὅτι ἄλλο παράδειγμα καὶ ἄλλο παραβολή. παράδειγμα μὲν γάρ ἐστιν, ὅταν ἀντιπαραθῇ τις ὅμοιον ὁμοίῳ, οἷον λογικῷ λογικόν· παραβολὴ δέ, ὅταν ἀνόμοιον ἀνομοίῳ, οἷον ἀλόγῳ λογικὸν ἢ ἔμπαλιν. ἢ παράδειγμά ἐστι λόγος ἀπὸ τῶν καθέκαστα ἐπὶ τὰ καθόλου. ἢ δεῖξις πιστουμένη τὸ μερικὸν διὰ μερικοῦ ὁμοίου.
