[152] Ὁ κατὰ διάρτησιν ἀσύνακτος λόγος ἐλέγετο ἐγνωρίσθαι ἐκ τοῦ μὴ ἔχειν ἀκολουθίαν τὰ λήμματα αὐτοῦ πρὸς ἄλληλά <τε> καὶ τὴν ἐπιφοράν. ἐπεὶ οὖν τῆς γνώσεως τῆς
ἀκολουθίας ταύτης δεῖ προηγεῖσθαι τὴν κρίσιν τοῦ συνημμένου, ἀνεπίκριτον δέ ἐστι τὸ συνημμένον, ὡς ἐπελογισάμην, <ἀδιάκριτος> ἔσται καὶ ὁ κατὰ διάρτησιν ἀσύνακτος λόγος.

[152] It was said that the argument which is inconclusive owing to inconsistency is recognized by the want of coherence which marks its premisses in their relation both to each other and to the inference.¹ Since, then, the recognition of this coherence ought to be preceded by the judgement on the hypothetical syllogism,² and that syllogism, as I have argued, does not admit of judgement, the argument that is inconclusive through inconsistency will likewise be incapable of being distinguished.
