Apollodorus says the same thing when he states that
a question must either lie in things external,1 which give
play to conjecture, or in our own opinions: the former
he calls πραγματικός the latter περὶ ἐννοίας The same
is said by those who employ the terms ἀπροληπτὸς2
and προληπτικός, that is to say doubtful and presumptive, by this latter term meaning those facts which
are beyond a doubt.
1 e.g. circumstantial evidence.
2 ἀπροληπτός lit. = unpresumed.
