[213] Diog. 69: ἐν δὲ τοῖς οὐχ ἁπλοῖς τὸ συνημμένον καὶ τὸ
παρασυνημμένον καὶ τὸ συμπεπλεγμένον καὶ τὸ αἰτιῶδες καὶ τὸ
διεζευγμένον καὶ τὸ διασαφοῦν τὸ μᾶλλον καὶ τὸ διασαφοῦν τὸ ἧττον.
Further details presently respecting the συνημμένον and διεζευγμένον.
For the παρασυνημμένον—a conditional sentence, the first part of which
is introduced by ἐπειδὴ—see Diog. 71 and 74; for the συμπεπλεγμένον,
the characteristic of which is the καὶ and καὶ, see Diog. 72; Sext.
Math. viii. 124; Gell. N. A. xvi. 8 and 9; Ps. Galen, Εἰσαγ. διαλ. 13;
Dexipp. in Cat. 27, 3, Speng.; (Schol. in Arist. 44. a, 9—Prantl, 446,
says this passage is not quite correct; it only implies that the term
συμπλοκὴ was confined to a copulative judgment); for the αἰτιῶδες,
which is characterised by a διότι, and therefore is not identical with
the παρασυνημμένον, Diog. 72 and 74; for the διασαφοῦν τὸ μᾶλλον and
the διασαφοῦν τὸ ἧττον, Diog. 72; conf. Cramer, Anecd. Oxon. i. 188;
Apollon. Synt. (Bekker’s Anecd. ii.), 481. These are only some of the
principal forms of composite judgments, their number being really
indefinite. Chrysippus estimated that a million combinations might be
formed with ten sentences. The celebrated mathematician, Hipparchus
however, proved that only 103,049 affirmative and 310,952 negative
judgments could be formed with that material (Plut. Sto. Rep. 29, 5, p.
1047; Qu. Symp. viii. 9, 3, 11, p. 732).
[214] There is no notice of a division of judgments into general and
particular. Instead of that, Sext. (Math. viii. 96) distinguishes
ὡρισμένα as οὗτος κάθηται, ἀόριστα as τὶς κάθηται, and μέσα as ἄνθρωπος
κάθηται, Σωκράτης περιπατεῖ. When the subject stood in the nominative,
ὡρισμένα were called καταγορευτικὰ (Diog. 70); the others κατηγορικά· a
καταγορευτικὸν is οὗτος περιπατεῖ· a κατηγορικὸν, Δίων περιπατεῖ.
[215] An affirmative judgment was called καταφατικὸν, a negative
ἀποφατικὸν, by Chrysippus in the fragment about to be quoted, and
Simpl. Cat. 102, δ, ζ. Apul. Dogm. Plat. iii. 266, Oud. renders these
terms by dedicativa and abdicativa. For the manner in which they
expressed negative sentences, see Boëth. De Interp. 373; Schol. in
Arist. 120.
[216] Diog. 69 gives an example of ἀρνητικὸν, οὐδεὶς περιπατεῖ· one of
particular negation, στερητικὸν—ἀφιλάνθρωπός ἐστιν οὗτος· one of double
negation, ὑπεραποφατικὸν—as, οὐχὶ ἡμέρα οὐκ ἐστί.
