[3] After explaining the nature of the Dialogue, which he compares to a Drama, the writer goes on to divide the Dialogues of Plato into four classes, logical, critical, physical, ethical, and mentions another division of them into Tetralogies, according to their subjects.
He advises that the Alcibiades, Phaedo, Republic, and Timaeus, should be read in a series.
