Headword:
*logoto/pos
Adler number: lambda,659
Translated headword: summary syllogism
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Among philosophers [a summary syllogism][1] [is] a combination of both,[2] as for example in "if
Plato is alive,
Plato is breathing; but the first [is true], therefore the second [is true]". 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: "but the first, so the second".

logoto/pos, should actually be
logotro/pos.
[2] Both
lo/gos and
tro/pos, previously defined by D.L. (7.76).
