Note 158 — THEÆTETUS, OR ON SCIENCE.

I have followed Stallbaum in giving this meaning to ἀνάγκη. See his note on this passage. I have perhaps taken a liberty in translating ἀντωμοσίαν in the next line “pleadings,” but I know of no other word that will convey our author’s meaning to an English reader, and in the passage before us technicality is unnecessary.
