Meaning equivalents.1
And Aristotle says that dialectic is the counterpart to rhetoric, since it also [is] about persuasive things, which by being probable are themselves of this same kind; for he says antistrophon ["counterpart to"] meaning isostrophon ["equivalent to"], and "engaged in" and "concerned with" about the same things.2

Ἀντιστρόφους· ἀντὶ τοῦ ἰσοστρόφους. καὶ Ἀριστοτέλης τὴν διαλεκτικὴν ἀντίστροφόν φησιν εἶναι τῇ ῥητορικῇ, ἐπειδὴ κἀκείνη περὶ τὰ πιθανὰ, ἃ τῷ ἔνδοξα εἶναι καὶ αὐτά ἐστι τοιαῦτα· τὸ γὰρ ἀντίστροφον ἀντὶ τοῦ ἰσόστροφον καὶ περὶ τὰ αὐτὰ στρεφομένην καὶ καταγινομένην λέγει.
