Διεξοδικούς

Concerning dialectic Alexander of Aphrodisias↗ says¹ that dialectic differs from rhetoric in that dialectic exercises its faculties with respect to every sort of subject matter and does not make its statements detailed/discursive/elaborate, but rather in question and response (for from this it takes its name), and that it reaches conclusions which are more universal and more common. Rhetoric, on the other hand, does not concern itself with every sort of subject matter in the fashion of dialectic (for the orator is chiefly concerned with politics)² and for the most part makes its argument in a detailed narrative manner and speaks rather about the particulars [of its subject]. And it shapes its speeches in accordance with circumstances³ and fortunes and times and the persons and the places and such things as are appropriate to the particular circumstances: for political debates, panegyrics, and judicial trials concern such things.
So [the term] diecodikou/s stands for broader, more universal.
But [the term] diecw|dhko/s [means] that which is swelled up.⁴
