Aristotle
Rhetoric Section 6
Section 817 of 882
Canonical reference 3.19.6
Ancient Greek
τελευτὴ δὲ τῆς λέξεως ἁρμόττει ἡ ἀσύνδετος, ὅπως ἐπίλογος ἀλλὰ μὴ λόγος ᾖ· εἴρηκα, ἀκηκόατε, ἔχετε, κρίνατε .
English
J. H. Freese, 1926
To the conclusion of the speech the most appropriate style is that which has no connecting particles, in order that it may be a peroration, but not an oration: I have spoken; you have heard; you know the facts; now give your decision.

Pour la conclusion du discours, le style le plus approprié est celui qui n'emploie aucune particule de liaison, afin qu'il s'agisse d'une péroraison et non d'un discours : « J'ai parlé ; vous avez entendu ; vous connaissez les faits ; maintenant, rendez votre décision. »
