I am in the
dark: if he means ἀνάκλασις1 or ἐπάνοδος2 or ἀντιμεταβολή,3 I have already discussed them. But whatever its meaning may be, he does not mention it in
the Orator any more than the other terms I have
just mentioned. The only figure of speech mentioned
in that work, which I should prefer to regard as a
figure of thought owing to its emotional character,
is exclamation. I agree with him about all the rest.
