Lausberg 856. Miriam 216: Concessio is a figure whereby the speaker grants a
point which hurts the adversary to whom it is granted, as in the reply of
the Lord Chief Justice to Falstaff whom he has sent for
Fallstaff: Boy, tell him I am deaf.
Page: You must speak louder. My master is deaf.
Justice: I am sure he is, to the hearing of anything good. Shak 2H4, 1.2.77
Greek/Latin: The practice was very common. The concept was discussed rather late. Rutil. 1.19
Ancient Chinese: Surprisingly rare. Needs close investigation regarding the types of points that are conceded to the other party.
