Socrates has manoeuvred Anytus into agreeing that they should be looking for someone who claims to be able to teach the techne Meno wants to learn, and who already makes money from teaching that techne. Socrates equates sophia with arete and states that Meno wishes to learn a complex virtue which we, and presumbaly Antyus, see as comprising Anytus' own characteristic behaviours. Because of the critieria agreed upon, Anytus will not be able to point to himself as a suitable teacher.

Here I read through Platonic dialogues, translating and commenting on the Greek text as I go.
