exchange--having the semblance of education; and this is termed

STRANGER: Let us take another branch of his genealogy; for he is a  
professor of a great and many-sided art; and if we look back at what has  
preceded we see that he presents another aspect, besides that of which

THEAETETUS: In what respect?  
STRANGER: There were two sorts of acquisitive art; the one concerned  
with hunting, the other with exchange.  
THEAETETUS: There were.  
STRANGER: And of the art of exchange there are two divisions, the one of  
giving, and the other of selling.  
THEAETETUS: Let us assume that.  
STRANGER: Next, we will suppose the art of selling to be divided into  
two parts.
