Note the play on * ouranos,' which in the Timaeus is the term for the visible universe, but com- monly =* heaven.' Thus Plato does not assign the heavens a different degree of reality from the earth, in spite of the phrase * not generation,' 231. i, 509 b, where see note. 34. * Into two segments.' The word * segments ' recurs in a somewhat parallel passage, Fhilebus^ 61 e. The illustration seems to us here needlessly elaborate for what it has to convey. It must be remembered that lecturers find... it advis- able to use the black board to convey absolutely simple ideas, merely to relieve the memory and attention of the audience. Plato might be influenced by some such custom ; * draw a line, divide it, and write the following names against each segment.' If the reading 'unequal' above is right, some such symbolism as that suggested by the translators' * represent degrees,' etc., seems probable, but the Greek is not decisive. Cf. Jowett, 'compare the subdivisions in respect of their clearness and want of clearness.' Ε 38.
