612 II, 23| is what Androcles of the deme Pitthus said in his well-known
613 II, 22| he is a human being or a demi-god, or because he joined the
614 III, 9 | much like the preludes that Democritus of Chios jeered at Melanippides
615 III, 17| Messenian assembly, when he demolished the arguments likely to
616 II, 20| Enthymeme, we must try to demonstrate our point by this method
617 III, 18| yourself. Thus, when Meletus denied that Socrates believed in
618 III, 11| the former saying, which denies that arche in one sense
619 III, 15| there." Another method is to denounce calumny, showing what an
620 III, 2 | already indicated: they depart from what is suitable, in
621 III, 16| the quality of character depicted and is itself determined

625 I, 6 | sources from which we must derive our means of persuasion

627 III, 10| for a reckoning is damage deservedly incurred.~
628 III, 2 | prejudiced and think we have some design against them, as if we were
629 II, 11| that reason. Hence we often despise the fortunate, when luck

638 III, 15| I should indeed be a detestable person if I had deliberately
639 III, 17| ceremonial speeches you will develop your case mainly by arguing
640 III, 10| something about the way to devise lively and taking sayings.
641 I, 9 | that observances have been devised and instituted to encourage
642 II, 23| conduct, e.g. "He says he is devoted to you, yet he conspired
643 II, 19| commensurability of the diagonal of a square with its side
644 III, 5 | departed (e d elthousa kai dialechtheisa ocheto)." (5) A fifth rule
645 I, 2 | that the proper subjects of dialectical and rhetorical syllogisms
646 I, 1 | kind of moral purpose, a "dialectician" in respect, not of his

650 I, 9 | case become encomiums when differently expressed. When we know
651 III, 10| said before, is a metaphor, differing from it only in the way
652 I, 1 | and in what respects it differs from the syllogism of strict
653 II, 17| position involves. They are dignified rather than arrogant, for

657 III, 10| warships "painted millstones". Diogenes the Dog called taverns "
658 II, 23| to obey the command. Thus Diomedon, the tax-farmer, said of
659 I, 12| he behaved as he did to Dion: here too it seems as if
660 III, 15| decision belonged to the Dionysiac contests. "If I have not
661 II, 8 | the Great King’s gifts for Diopeithes after his death. Also that

666 III, 3 | done, the prose character disappears entirely. We now see why
667 II, 12| have as yet met with few disappointments. Their lives are mainly
668 II, 21| or we might put it, I disapprove of that saying. A true friend
669 I, 6 | distinguished by the favour of a discerning or virtuous man or woman,

671 III, 18| difficulties, and applauds his discomfiture. In other cases do not attempt
672 III, 2 | unlike those of poetry, are discordant and unmeaning. Further,
673 I, 2 | which the principles thus discovered belong. Most enthymemes
674 III, 7 | language of disgust and discreet reluctance to utter a word
675 I, 8 | forms of government and to discriminate their respective customs,
676 II, 19| show the line to take. In discussing deliberative oratory we
677 II, 9 | emotions for subsequent discussion-and ask with whom, on what grounds,
678 II, 24| syllogism may, as in "eristical" discussions, be based on the confusion
679 III, 2 | now see that a writer must disguise his art and give the impression
680 III, 7 | outrage; the language of disgust and discreet reluctance
681 I, 3 | or unjust, honourable or dishonourable, he brings in as subsidiary
682 II, 4 | are, and dislike, or are disliked by, those whom we dislike.
683 II, 12| excessively and vehemently. They disobey Chilon’s precept by overdoing
684 I, 15| from the growing habit of disobeying authority. Or that trying

690 II, 22| proposition; the other kind disproves one. The difference between

722 III, 15| are falsely charged with doing-the damage was accidental - "

758 I, 7 | goods which men desire more earnestly to bring about for themselves
