Ἀριστοτέλης δὲ ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ τῶν Ῥητορικῶν τεχνῶν (1354 a 12) ἁπλούστερον παραδίδωσι τὴν ῥητορικὴν τέχνην λόγων. καὶ ζητουμένου πρὸς αὐτὸν ὅτι καὶ ἡ ἰατρικὴ τέχνη ἐστὶ λόγων ἰατρικῶν, ἀπολογούμενοί τινές φασιν ὅτι ἡ ἰατρικὴ τοὺς λόγους ἐφʼ ἕτερόν τι ἀναφέρει τέλος, καθάπερ τὴν ὑγείαν, ἡ δέ ῥητορικὴ ἄντικρύς ἐστι λόγων τέχνη.
