256 Theaet. It would be perfectly right, if we are to admit that some of the classes will mingle with one another, and others will not.

256 Str. And surely we demonstrated that before we took up our present points; we proved that it was according to nature. See Plat. Theaet. 251e ff

256 Theaet. Yes, of course.

256 Str. Then let us recapitulate: Motion is other than the other, just as we found it to be other than the same and than rest. Is that true?

256 Theaet. Inevitably.

256 Str. Then it is in a sense not other and also other, according to our present reasoning.

256 Theaet. True.

256 Str. Now how about the next point? Shall we say next that motion is other than the three, but not other than the fourth,—that is, if we have agreed that the classes about which and within which we undertook to carry on our inquiry are five in number?

256 Theaet. How can we say that? For we cannot admit that the number is less than was shown just now.

256 Str. Then we may fearlessly persist in contending that motion is other than being?

256 Theaet. Yes, most fearlessly.

256 Str. It is clear, then, that motion really is not, and also that it is, since it partakes of being?

256 Theaet. That is perfectly clear.

256 Str. In relation to motion, then, not-being is. That is inevitable. And this extends to all the classes; for in all of them the nature of other so operates as to make each one other than being, and therefore not-being. So we may, from this point of view, rightly say of all of them alike that they are not; and again, since they partake of being, that they are and have being.

256 Theaet. Yes, I suppose so.

256 Str. And so, in relation to each of the classes, being is many, and not-being is infinite in number. Being is many, for each and every thing in all the classes is; but not-being is infinite, for not only is it true that everything in each of the classes is not, but not-being extends also to all conceptions which do not and cannot have any reality.

256 Theaet. So it seems.

257 Str. Then being itself must also be said to be other than all other things.
