Περι δὲ ἐπιλόγων· ἡγοῦνται τοὺς ἐπιλόγους ὥςπερ ἐν δείπνῳ τραγήματα εἶναι τῶν λόγων καὶ ὥςπερ ἐπιφυλλίδας καὶ στωμύλματα (παρ’ ὃ καὶ ἐπιφωνήματα καλοῦσιν τὰ ἐν ἐπιλόγοις λεγόμενα) οὐκ εἰδότες, ὅτι ὥςπερ τὸ προοίμιον διοίκησις τοῦ παντὸς ἀγῶ|νος, οὕτω καὶ ὁ ἐπίλογος βεβαίωσις ἢ ἐπανάμνησις τῶν προαποδεδειγμένων πραγμάτων, ἢ ἐν παθῶν συντάσει παροξυνόντων ἡμῶν ἢ οἰκτιζομένων ἢ καὶ ἄλλα ὅσα ἤθη λόγων διάφορα τῷ ὑποκειμένῳ ἑκάστοτε ἀγῶνι.
