Aristotle - The Organon - index for DE SOPHISTICIS ELENCHIS Section 3 Part 31

Those who draw one into repetition

Paragraph 1 With regard to those who draw one into repeating the same thing a number of times, it is clear that one must not grant that predications of relative terms have any meaning in abstraction by themselves, e.g. that 'double' is a significant term apart from the whole phrase 'double of half' merely on the ground that it figures in it.
