To use the terminology employed by Socrates in the aviary model (195C– 200D), Theaetetus possesses (κατέχει) this piece of information saved in his memory, but does not comprehend it (ἔχει).19 b) Considering that other Platonic narrators, such as Cephalus and Apollodorus, appear perfectly capable of reciting from memory dialogues which they hear from others in the form of a διήγησις, it is not satisfactory to suggest that Euclides’ inability to narrate Socrates’ exchange with Theaetetus by heart is symptomatic of his passive, non-dialectical reception of it.	cache/grbs-15561.pdf	txt/grbs-15561.txt
