>SOCRATES: Now, my friend, a little while ago, if you remember, we were inclined to accept a certain proposition which we thought put the matter very well—I mean the statement that no account can be given of the primaries of which other things are constituted, because each of them is in itself incomposite; and that it would be incorrect to apply even the term ‘being’ to it when we spoke of it or the term ‘this’, because these terms signify different and alien things; and that is the reason why a primary is an unaccountable and unknowable thing. Do you remember?
do you?
