Headword: *)antistro/fous
Adler number: alpha,2727
Translated headword: counterparts
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
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]

Notes:
The headword, accusative plural of this adjective, must be quoted from somewhere (perhaps Plato: see next note).
[1] Likewise in other lexica, including Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon; this suggests (without guaranteeing) that the headword is quoted from Plato, Republic 616A.
[2] Alexander of Aphrodisias, Commentary on Aristotle's Topica 3.25-28. (At the opening of his Rhetoric (1354a1ff) Aristotle had declared that "rhetoric is counterpart to dialectic".)
