 1 Craty|       truth, or correctness, or principle of names?~After illustrating
 2 Craty|        example may illustrate a principle of language as well as a
 3 Craty|       ousia (= osia the pushing principle), an anticipation of Anaxagoras
 4 Craty|        opinion that there is no principle in names; they may be changed,
 5 Craty|        refreshing, or animating principle—e anapsuchousa to soma;
 6 Craty|         even in foreign words a principle is discernible. Hestia is
 7 Craty|      ousia, and means the first principle of things: this agrees with
 8 Craty|  pushing’ (othoun) is the first principle of all things. And here
 9 Craty|    account of the virtues. What principle of correctness is there
10 Craty|       which clearly hinders the principle of penetration; arren and
11 Craty|     dianoia); which is also the principle of beauty; and which doing
12 Craty|        that of swift, being the principle which makes motion immortal
13 Craty|  opposite of this, implying the principle of constraint and forced
14 Craty|    names are framed on the same principle as the good, and other examples
15 Craty|     Socrates is aware that this principle is liable to great abuse;
16 Craty|  foreign words there is still a principle of correctness, which applies
17 Craty|         If at first framed on a principle of intelligibility, they
18 Craty|        in the state, there is a principle of renovation as well as
19 Craty|    parts of speech, and on what principle are they divided? These
20 Craty|    things or events. It was the principle of analogy which introduced
21 Craty|        seems to be derived, the principle of analogy opens the eyes
22 Craty|         ask the reason why this principle of analogy prevails in all
23 Craty|      even prior to it comes the principle of onomatopea, which is
24 Craty|        part only as a formative principle, which used words and letters
25 Craty|          that the onomatopoetic principle is far from prevailing uniformly,
26 Craty|        to the effect of it.~The principle of onomatopea has fallen
27 Craty|       creative, but a formative principle, which in the later stage
28 Craty|        that usage is the ruling principle, ‘quem penes arbitrium est,
29 Craty|        unless we allow for this principle. We can bear to have words
30 Craty|        myself that there is any principle of correctness in names
31 Craty|       with you. For on the same principle the son of a king is to
32 Craty|         ordering and containing principle of all things?~HERMOGENES:
33 Craty|        know whether any similar principle of correctness is to be
34 Craty|      and there is one excellent principle which, as men of sense,
35 Craty|   stands; with them the pushing principle (othoun) is the cause and
36 Craty|       motion (pheromenon), that principle which embraces and touches
37 Craty|       explain the virtues. What principle of correctness is there
38 Craty|    hindrance to the penetrating principle (diaiontos), need not be
39 Craty|    similar allusion to the same principle of the upward flux (te ano
40 Craty| anything has a name; is not the principle which imposes the name the
41 Craty|      Exactly.~SOCRATES: And the principle of beauty does the works
42 Craty|      course.~SOCRATES: And that principle we affirm to be mind?~HERMOGENES:
43 Craty|        which are done upon this principle are called sumphora or sumpheronta,
44 Craty|       ordering or all-pervading principle which is praised, and the
45 Craty|         restraining and binding principle which is censured. And this
46 Craty|       this agrees with the true principle, for being (on) is also
47 Craty|        absurdity in stating the principle of primary names.~HERMOGENES:
48 Craty|   acknowledge with me, that one principle is applicable to all names,
49 Craty|      avoided—there is no better principle to which we can look for
50 Craty|         we must find some other principle of truth in images, and
51 Craty|     that convention is the only principle; and whether you abide by
52 Craty|        to be framed on the same principle as those which have the
