  So far angling seems well suited to direct the inquirers toward their goal. Set on the right track, they readily complete the rest of the  division. But at the end of the first division, the Stranger remarks  that the sophist’s art is really quite complicated (Sophist 223c). He then  turns his attention to a feature mentioned toward the end of that  division. The sophist earns wages from those he hunts, and he has a  product to sell. Returning to acquisitive art, the Stranger this time ignores the branch that leads to hunting, and instead follows the  other branch, beginning from the art of acquisition by exchange, and  defines the sophist as someone engaged in commerce, who sells  products for the soul (Sophist 224c–d; 231d). In the pages following, the  Stranger focuses on various activities of the sophist and  defines him in five different ways. Each time the sophist turns up at the tips of branches stemming from acquisitive art. Then on a sixth  round the Stranger makes a fresh initial division of art, marking off the art of separation, and finds the sophist at the terminus of a  branch originating from there.
