388 Hermogenes. Yes.

388 Socrates. And you could give a similar answer about the borer and the rest, could you not?

388 Hermogenes. Certainly.

388 Socrates. And can you say something of the same kind about a name? The name being an instrument, what do we do with it when we name?

388 Hermogenes. I cannot tell.

388 Socrates. Do we not teach one another something, and separate things according to their natures?

388 Hermogenes. Certainly.

388 Socrates. A name is, then, an instrument of teaching and of separating reality, as a shuttle is an instrument of separating the web?

388 Hermogenes. Yes.

388 Socrates. But the shuttle is an instrument of weaving?

388 Hermogenes. Of course.

388 Socrates. The weaver, then, will use the shuttle well, and well means like a weaver; and a teacher will use a name well, and well means like a teacher.

388 Hermogenes. Yes.

388 Socrates. Whose work will the weaver use well when he uses the shuttle?

388 Hermogenes. The carpenter’s.

388 Socrates. Is every one a carpenter, or he who has the skill?

388 Hermogenes. He who has the skill.

388 Socrates. And whose work will the hole-maker use when he uses the borer?

388 Hermogenes. The smith’s.

388 Socrates. And is every one a smith, or he who has the skill?

388 Hermogenes. He who has the skill.

388 Socrates. And whose work will the teacher use when he uses the name?

388 Hermogenes. I cannot tell that, either.

388 Socrates. And can you not tell this, either, who gives us the names we use?

388 Hermogenes. No.

388 Socrates. Do you not think it is the law that gives them to us?

388 Hermogenes. Very likely.

388 Socrates. Then the teacher, when he uses a name, will be using the work of a lawgiver?

388 Hermogenes. I think so.

388 Socrates. Do you think every man is a lawgiver, or only he who has the skill?
