Headword:
Λογοτόπος
Adler number: lambda,659
Translated headword: summary syllogism
Vetting Status: low
Translation: Amongst philosophers, [summary syllogism][1] [is] a combination of both,[2] as for example in "if
Plato is alive,
Plato is breathing"; [if] A, then B. The summary syllogism was introduced in order that, when dealing with long and complex arguments, we should no longer have to state the minor premiss - [if] a long one - and the conclusion, but could proceed summarily: "[if] A, then B".
Λογοτόπος: παρὰ φιλοσόφοις τὸ ἐξ ἀμφοτέρων σύνθετον: οἷον, εἰ ζῇ Πλάτων, ἀναπνεῖ Πλάτων. ἀλλὰ μὴν τὸ πρῶτον: τὸ ἄρα δεύτερον. παρεισήχθη δὲ ὁ λογοτόπος ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἐν ταῖς μακροτέραις συντάξεσι τῶν λόγων μηκέτι τὴν σύλληψιν μακρὰν οὖσαν καὶ τὴν ἐπιφορὰν λέγειν, ἀλλὰ συντόμως ἐπενεγκεῖν, τὸ δὲ πρῶτον: τὸ ἄρα δεύτερον.
Notes:
From
Diogenes Laertius 7.77, presenting the terminology of the Stoic philosopher
Crinis (C2 BCE).
[1] The headword, transmitted as
λογοτόπος , should actually be
λογοτρόπος .
[2] Both
λόγος and
τρόπος , previously defined by D.L. (7.76).
