Plato's "Cratylus" is about language, specifically about names (onomata), a category that includes proper names, common nouns, adjectives, participles and infinitives. As Plato's most focused discussion of language, the text should be useful for every student of his work.
"It is. . . remarkable that Reeve''s is the first new English translation since Fowler''s Loeb edition of 1926. Fortunately, Reeve has done an excellent job. His version is not slavishly literal but is in general very accurate. It is also very clear and readable. Reeve is particularly to be congratulated for having produced versions of some of the more torturous passages, which are not only faithful to the text but also make good sense in English. The long and detailed introduction is worth reading in its own right." --R. F. Stalley, The Classical Review
