[228a]

Stranger
The one is comparable to a disease in the body, the other to a deformity.

Theaetetus
I do not understand.

Stranger
Perhaps you have not considered that disease and discord are the same thing?

Theaetetus
I do not know what reply I ought to make to this, either.

Stranger
Is that because you think discord is anything else than the disagreement of the naturally related, brought about by some corruption?

Theaetetus
No; I think it is nothing else.

Stranger
But is deformity anything else than the presence of the quality of disproportion, which is always ugly?
