τῶν δὲ μετʼ ἐπιλόγου αἱ μὲν ἐνθυμήματος μέρος εἰσίν, ὥσπερ χρὴ δʼ οὔ ποθʼ ὅστις ἀρτίφρων, Eur. Med. 294 αἱ δʼ ἐνθυμηματικαὶ μέν, οὐκ ἐνθυμήματος δὲ μέρος· αἵπερ καὶ μάλιστʼ εὐδοκιμοῦσιν. εἰσὶν δʼ αὗται ἐν ὅσαις ἐμφαίνεται τοῦ λεγομένου τὸ αἴτιον, οἷον ἐν τῷ ἀθάνατον ὀργὴν μὴ φύλασσε θνητὸς ὤν· τὸ μὲν γὰρ φάναι μὴ δεῖν φυλάττειν γνώμη, τὸ δὲ προσκείμενον θνητὸν ὄντα τὸ διὰ τί. ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ θνατὰ χρὴ τὸν θνατόν, οὐκ ἀθάνατα τὸν θνατὸν φρονεῖν.
