a)gônistikoi\], are persons who break the rules of dialectic ([Greek:
a)dikomachi/a]) for the purpose of gaining victory; [Greek: oi(
sophistai\] are those who do the same thing for the purpose of
getting money. See also Metaphys. iii. 1004, b. 17.]
[Footnote 43: Aristot. Sophist. Elench. p. 172, a. 30.]
[Footnote 44: Aristot. Rhetor, i. 1, 1355, b. 18. He here admits that
the only difference between the Dialectician and the Sophist lies in
their purposes--that the mental activity employed by both is the
same. [Greek: o( ga\r sophistiko\s ou)k e)n tê=| duna/mei a)ll' e)n

[Side-note: Philosophical purpose of the Euthydêmus--exposure
of fallacies, in Plato's dramatic manner, by multiplication of
particular examples.]
