[193] So then it is also superfluous, perhaps, to discuss in detail the much vaunted ‟syllogisms,” since, for one thing, they are included in the refutation of the existence of ‟proof” (for it is plain that if this is non-existent there is no place either for probative argument), and for another, we have implicitly contradicted them in our previous statements, when in discussing redundancy¹ we mentioned a certain method by which it is possible to show that all the probative arguments of the Stoics and the Peripatetics are really inconclusive.

αὐτῶν τῇ ὑπάρξει τῆς ἀποδείξεως (δῆλον γὰρ ὅτι ἐκείνης μὴ οὔσης οὐδὲ ἀποδεικτικὸς λόγος χώραν ἔχει), τοῦτο δὲ καὶ δυνά- μει διὰ τῶν ἔμπροσθεν ἡμῖν λελεγμένων ἀντειρηκότων ἡμῶν (146 sqq.) πρὸς αὐτούς, ὅτε περὶ τῆς παρολκῆς
διαλεγόμενοι μέθοδόν τινα ἐλέγομεν δι’ ἧς ἐνδέχεται δεικνύναι, ὅτι πάντες οἱ ἀποδεικτικοὶ λόγοι τῶν τε Στωικῶν καὶ τῶν Περιπατητικῶν ἀσύνακτοι τυγχάνουσιν ὄντες.
