Quotation from Cratylus by Plato
“just as any one of us would not recognize the same drugs under different disguises of colour and smell, although to the physician, who regards the power of them, they are the same”
Cratylus, Stephanus 394a-b, trans. Benjamin Jowett (1892)
Names with different letters may have the same meaning, as the physician sees one drug beneath different appearances.
