But what the Greeks call sunhmme/non a)ci/wma, or a hypothetical syllogism, Literally, a connected axiom. See II. 213. Arn. some of our countrymen Aelius Stilo, Fr. 74, p. 75 Fun. call adiunctum, others conexum. Two connected sentences of which the second follows as the result of the first. 4 II. 218. Arn. The following are examples of this: If Plato is walking, Plato is moving; if it is day, the sun is above the earth. Also what they call sumpeplegme/non, or a compound proposition, we call coniunctum or copulatum; for example: Publius Scipio, son of Paulus, was twice consul and celebrated a triumph, and held the censorship, and was the colleague of Lucius Mummius in his censorship. But in the whole of a proposition of this kind, if one member is false, even if the rest are true, the whole is said to be false. For if to all those true statements which I have made about that Scipio I add and he worsted Hannibal in Africa, which is false, all those other statements which are made in conjunction will not be true, because of this one false statement which is made with them.
