Abstract
In the Aristotelian corpus the term epicheírema is used in the technical sense of “argument”, except in Topics 162a15-18, where it is specifically interpreted as a dialectical syllogism. In Rhetoric, Aristotle does not use the term epicheírema, but he does mention a rhetorical syllogism named enthymeme and which, like the dialectical syllogism, derives from probable premises. The similarity between the dialectical system and the rhetorical system leads to the entry of the term epicheírema into rhetoric and also to the conflict with respect to the enthymeme. From this point onwards, the rhetoricians mould the semantic scope of the term epicheírema according to how it fits into their rhetorical system.
