2. EPICHEIREMA.
An epicheirema is a syllogism in which one or both of the premises is an enthymeme. To put it in another way: An epicheirema is a syllogism in which one or both of the premises is supported by a reason.
When one premise is an enthymeme the syllogism is termed a single epicheirema; whereas when both premises are enthymemes it becomes a double epicheirema.
Single epicheirema.

Socrates was a man,
∴ Socrates was mortal.
