In allusion to Xen. Mem. iv. ^ 11, a passage noticed by the Master of Trinity, p. 595 of 

 his paper, I may observe that the etymology of Dialectic, a-rro tov SiaXeyeiv, is undoubtedly 

 vicious, and is nowhere countenanced by Plato. On the contrary, Dialectic is described in the 

 Philebus, 58 e, as >; tov SiaXeyeaOai Suva/nis. He could not have adopted Xenophon's 

 etymology, for as we have seen, the Platonic Dialectic includes dwaywy^ as well as Siaipeais. 

 The etymology was tempting, and Xenophon, who writes very nrtich at random upon 

 philosophical subjects, was unable to resist the temptation. A similar error is that of Hegel, 

 who in his History of Philosophy, derives aocpiaTtjs from ao(p'i^6iv instead of aoCpi^eaOai, 

 an error in which he has been followed by English scholars who ought to have known better.
