Dialogue

 1 Craty|    ephaptomene,—all things are in motion, and she in her wisdom moves
 2 Craty|          meaning is, touching the motion or stream of things, and
 3 Craty|  tachuteti,—for all things are in motion, and some are swifter than
 4 Craty|           which, as the lovers of motion say, preserves all things,
 5 Craty|        signifies an impediment to motion (from alpha not, and poreuesthai
 6 Craty|         the principle which makes motion immortal and unceasing;
 7 Craty|           desmos) or hindrance of motion; but in its ancient form
 8 Craty|        and means that which binds motion (dounti to ion): edone is
 9 Craty|      through ravines which impede motion: aletheia is theia ale,
10 Craty|     aletheia is theia ale, divine motion. Pseudos is the opposite
11 Craty|           employed to express all motion or kinesis. (I ought to
12 Craty|          held to be expressive of motion and hardness, as lambda
13 Craty|         the purpose of expressing motion. Well, then, there is the
14 Craty|     signify rest as which signify motion? There is episteme, which
15 Craty|        indicates the cessation of motion; and there are many words
16 Craty|           connected with ideas of motion, such as sumphora, amartia,
17 Craty|     theory of rest rather than of motion. ‘Yes; but the greater number
18 Craty|           number of words express motion.’ Are we to count them,
19 Craty| expressive of rest, and others of motion? ‘I do not suppose that
20 Craty|           which are expressive of motion?...But if some names are
21 Craty|          things are in a state of motion and flux, I believe that
22 Craty|    previously found expressive of motion. And even if this had been
23 Craty|          mind, which sets them in motion and works together with
24 Craty|     composition as well as in the motion of all things, there is
25 Craty| particular sound corresponds to a motion or action of man or beast
26 Craty|           accent is expressive of motion, the letters delta and tau
27 Craty|        carries and gives life and motion to the entire nature of
28 Craty|        say that all things are in motion and nothing at rest; he
29 Craty|        things in the world are in motion (pheromenon), that principle
30 Craty|          touches that which is in motion (tou pheromenon ephaptomene),
31 Craty|      permanent, but only flux and motion, and that the world is always
32 Craty|      always full of every sort of motion and change. The consideration
33 Craty|         have been just cited, the motion or flux or generation of
34 Craty|           is a name indicative of motion.~HERMOGENES: What was the
35 Craty|        rhou noesis (perception of motion and flux), or perhaps phoras
36 Craty|           onesis (the blessing of motion), but is at any rate connected
37 Craty|        connected with pheresthai (motion); gnome (judgment), again,
38 Craty|     anything follows (epetai) the motion of things, neither anticipating
39 Craty|          meaning is, touching the motion or stream of things. You
40 Craty|         commencement of any rapid motion, often use the word esuthe (
41 Craty|      Lacedaemonians signify rapid motion, and the touching (epaphe)
42 Craty|          the touching (epaphe) of motion is expressed by sophia,
43 Craty|      things are supposed to be in motion. Good (agathon) is the name
44 Craty|        still there are degrees of motion; some are swifter, some
45 Craty|       suppose all things to be in motion conceive the greater part
46 Craty|       going badly); and this evil motion when existing in the soul
47 Craty|         which is an impediment to motion and movement. Then the word
48 Craty|           the first place ease of motion, then that the stream of
49 Craty|        episteme, meaning just the motion (pora) of the soul accompanying
50 Craty|     things and no pause or end of motion, but always, if there begins
51 Craty|           again (luei), and makes motion immortal and unceasing:
52 Craty|          luon) the end (telos) of motion. Ophelimon (the advantageous)

54 Craty|         given to that which binds motion (dounti ion).~HERMOGENES:
55 Craty|      trouble) is the hindrance of motion (alpha and ienai); algedon (
56 Craty|          just now saying, to that motion which is in accordance with
57 Craty|        and overgrown, and impedes motion—and this is the derivation
58 Craty|   wandering), implying the divine motion of existence; pseudos (falsehood)
59 Craty|     falsehood) is the opposite of motion; here is another ill name
60 Craty|         instrument expressing all motion (kinesis). But I have not
61 Craty|  instrument for the expression of motion; and he frequently uses
62 Craty|        rein and roe he represents motion by rho; also in the words
63 Craty|          used in order to express motion, just as by the letter iota
64 Craty|       letter iota as imitative of motion, ienai, iesthai. And there
65 Craty|       would be putting himself in motion to no purpose; and that
66 Craty|   softness; and into this infuses motion, and soul, and mind, such
67 Craty|           expressive of rapidity, motion, and hardness? Were we right
68 Craty|         the purpose of expressing motion.~SOCRATES: And what do you
69 Craty|     saying that all things are in motion and progress and flux, and
70 Craty|       flux, and that this idea of motion is expressed by names? Do
71 Craty|          and position, and not of motion. Again, the word istoria (
72 Craty|  certainly indicates cessation of motion; then, again, mneme (memory),
73 Craty|         rest in the soul, and not motion. Moreover, words such as
74 Craty|            not that things are in motion or progress, but that they
75 Craty|          which is the opposite of motion.~CRATYLUS: Yes, Socrates,
76 Craty|        the greater number express motion.~SOCRATES: What of that,
77 Craty|  expressive of rest and others of motion? Were we mistaken?~CRATYLUS:
78 Craty|           which are expressive of motion? This is a point which,
79 Craty|           that all things were in motion and flux; which was their
