[221δ]

Ξένος
καὶ νῦν δὴ τοῦτον ἰδιώτην θήσομεν, ὦ Θεαίτητε, ἢ παντάπασιν ὡς ἀληθῶς σοφιστήν;

Θεαίτητος
οὐδαμῶς ἰδιώτην: μανθάνω γὰρ ὃ λέγεις, ὡς παντὸς δεῖ τοιοῦτος εἶναι τό γε ὄνομα τοῦτο ἔχων.

Ξένος
ἀλλά τινα τέχνην αὐτὸν ἡμῖν ἔχοντα, ὡς ἔοικε, θετέον.

Θεαίτητος
τίνα ποτ᾽ οὖν δὴ ταύτην;

Ξένος
ἆρ᾽ ὦ πρὸς θεῶν ἠγνοήκαμεν τἀνδρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα ὄντα συγγενῆ;

Θεαίτητος
τίνα τοῦ;

Ξένος
τὸν ἀσπαλιευτὴν τοῦ σοφιστοῦ.

Θεαίτητος
πῇ;

Ξένος
θηρευτά τινε καταφαίνεσθον ἄμφω μοι.
