Aristotle
"Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. The first kind depends on the personal character of the speaker; the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind; the third the proof, or apparent proof, provided by the words of the speech itself … The modes of persuasion are the only true constituents of the art: everything else is merely accessory."

Ethos
"The first kind depends on the personal character of the speaker"
Ethos uses the credibility of the person giving the argument. This can come from within the text and outside of the text.
