[167] εἰ δὲ οὐκ ἀρέσκει τισὶ λόγους μονολημμάτους εἷναι, οὐκ εἰσὶν ἀξιοπιστότεροι Ἀντιπάτρου (fr. Stoic.III 1 67 A.), ὃς οὐδὲ τοὺς τοιούτους λόγους ἀποδοκιμάζει.

Διὰ ταῦτα μὲν οὖν ἀνεπίκριτός ἐστιν ὁ παρὰ τοῖς διαλεκτικοῖς συνακτικὸς καλούμενος λόγος. ἀλλὰ καὶ ὁ ἀληθὴς
λόγος ἀνεύρετός ἐστι διά τε τὰ προειρημένα καὶ ἐπεὶ πάντως ὀφείλει εἰς ἀληθὲς λήγειν. τὸ γὰρ συμπέρασμα τὸ ἀληθὲς εἶναι λεγόμενον ἤτοι φαινόμενόν ἐστιν ἢ ἄδηλον.

[167] But if some persons disapprove of arguments being of a ‟one-premiss form,” they deserve no more credence than does Antipater¹ who does not reject such arguments.

For these reasons, then, the argument named by the Dialecticians ‟conclusive” is not judged acceptable. But further, the ‟true”² argument is indiscoverable both for the foregoing reasons³ and because it ought in all cases to end in truth. For the conlusion which is said to be true is either apparent or non-evident.
