Συνάγειν, συναγωγή, συνακτικός. To bring together, collect; a collection. Synagoge is the title of a lost book by Hippias of Elis that seems to have summarized the opinions of earlier thinkers. Plato uses the word as something close to “induction,” gathering together the examples before dividing them (diairesis). This “method of collection and division” appears particularly in Phaedrus 265d and is applied at length in the Sophist and Statesman. [HDAGP]
