Outline
• climax:
      1. 1. grădātio: Cic. de Or. 3, 54, 207: "gradatio quae dicitur κλῖμαξ," Quint. 9, 3, 54; from which passage it appears that the figure gradatio required a repetition of each member of the progression in passing from it to the next; as "Africano virtutem industria, virtus gloriam, gloria aemulos comparavit," ib.
      2. 2. prōgressio Cic. l. c.: where, however, no explanation is given. Forcell. s. v. says, "fortasse est, cum in oratione semper aliquid priore majus insequitur."
      3. 3. incrēmentum pluribus gradibus factum: cf. Quint. 8, 4, 3
      4. 4. clīmax, ăcis, f.: Capell. Phr.: to rise in the way of c., per gradus ire, Quint. ib.: there is an uninterrupted c., semper aliquid priore majus insequitur; singula incrementum habent, Quint. ib. to dwell upon the points of a c., circa singulos gradus morari, ib.
