Accepted answer
The "anomaly" seems to be when St. Thomas refutes or commentates on a sed contra.
In II-II q. 83 a. 14, for example, he refers to a sed contra as the fourth objection:
II-II q. 83 a. 14 s.c.:
Sed contra, videtur quod [But against (the thesis), it seems thatβ¦]β¦
II-II q. 83 a. 14 ad 4:
Ad quartum [i.e., "to the sed contra"] dicendum quod [roughly, "I say thatβ¦"].
Usually, sed contras are arguments from authority and he doesn't refute them.
St. Thomas doesn't number his objections in his original Latin, nor does he use the term "objection" there. The format is:
Videtur quod [It seems that] β¦
PrΓ¦terea [furthermore], videtur quodβ¦
PrΓ¦terea, β¦
PrΓ¦terea, β¦
etc.
Sed contra [On the contrary], β¦
Ad primum [As to the first (objection)], β¦
Ad secundum [second] β¦
Ad tertium [third] β¦
etc.
