Ancient Greek

ἔτι δὲ τὸ περὶ μεγέθους κοινὸν ἁπάντων ἐστὶ τῶν λόγων· χρῶνται γὰρ πάντες τῷ μειοῦν καὶ αὔξειν καὶ συμβουλεύοντες καὶ ἐπαινοῦντες ἢ ψέγοντες καὶ κατηγοροῦντες ἢ ἀπολογούμενοι.

English

J. H. Freese, 1926

Further, the topic of magnitude is common to all kinds of Rhetoric, for all men employ extenuation or amplification whether deliberating, praising or blaming, accusing or defending.

En outre, le lieu de la grandeur est commun à tous les genres de rhétorique, car tous les hommes ont recours à l’atténuation ou à l’amplification, qu’ils délibèrent, louent ou blâment, accusent ou défendent.
