Πίστεις ἄτεχνοι [pisteis atechnoi]: what speaks for a matter, what cannot be brought about on account of us, but rather is there already, which we, therefore, can put to use [Gebrauch] — “witnessing,” [Zeugen] “torturing,” [Foltern] “documenting.” [Urkunde] [Rhet. A 1, 1355 b37] These πίστεις are discussed in Book 1, Chapter 15. There, we find five πίστεις ἄτεχνοι in all: νóμοι [nomoi], μάρτυρες [martyres], βάσανοι [basanoi], συνθῆκαι [synthekai] (“agreements”), ὄρκος [orkos] [Rhet. A 15, 1375 q 24 seq] — in connection with a definite type of discourse, in speaking about what is δίκαιον [dikaion], in juridical proceedings. These πίστεις are ways of speaking for a matter that is at issue (in such a proceeding), which lies before us. [GA18  :119; GA18MT  :82]
