Ἐπιπόλαια

[Meaning] things which appear plausible but are actually not plausible, instead having an entirely superficial appearance [of being so]. A superficiality is something [that can be] refuted by a little attention. Such is the form of eristic premises and deductive arguments. For instance, "he who sees has eyes"; through which it is concluded [that] the one-eyed has eyes. Also "what you say comes out of your mouth"; on the basis of this one concludes that a wagon comes out of the mouth of the man speaking of a wagon. Also "what you have not lost, you possess"; for someone hearing this concludes that you have horns, for you have not lost horns.¹ Similarly too: "he who has sight sees, and he who is sleeping has sight". For such things involve the persuasive [kind of] superficiality.
