This paper deals with Sulp. Vict., Rhet. 3, pp. 314.34-315.4 Halm, a passage in which the Latin rhetorician Sulpicius (undoubtedly following his source, the Greek Zeno) lists a certain number of progymnasmata. After studying each of them following the ancient rhetorical textbooks (mainly Greek), and examining their links with Sulpicius’ concepts of thesis and hypothesis, we will propose the emendation hypothesin on p. 315.3, considering therefore as thesis the progymnasmata known as ἀνασκευὴ καὶ κατασκευή, χρεία, ἐγκώμιον καὶ ψόγος and θέσις; and as hypothesis, those called νόμος and τόπος.
