virtue, you would again term Sophistry?

THEAETETUS: I must, if I am to keep pace with the argument.

STRANGER: Let us consider once more whether there may not be yet another

THEAETETUS: What is it?

STRANGER: In the acquisitive there was a subdivision of the combative or

THEAETETUS: There was.

STRANGER: Perhaps we had better divide it.

THEAETETUS: What shall be the divisions?

STRANGER: There shall be one division of the competitive, and another of
the pugnacious.

THEAETETUS: Very good.

STRANGER: That part of the pugnacious which is a contest of bodily

THEAETETUS: True.

STRANGER: And when the war is one of words, it may be termed controversy?
