ἀντεπιξηειρεῖν occurs in Aristotle. ἀντεπιξηειρεῖν is not to bring an objection to things that are being said, but to attempt to infer the same thing again through other things syllogistically, because what is being shown [is] not true. For the argument against the demonstration that the soul [is] not deathless, because its form is implicated in matter, and nothing which has a form implicated in matter is separable from that material: this was not an objection, but an attempt to show through other things again that [the soul] is eternal, by accepting that learnings [are] recollections, or that [the soul is] self-moved; he is making a counter-attack, not objecting.
