 [The good exegete] must, I believe, not convict the philosophers of discordance (diaphônia) by looking only at the letter (lexis) of what [Aristotle] says against Plato; but he must look towards the spirit (nous), and track down (anikhneuein) the harmony (sumphônia) which reigns between them on the majority of points. (Simplicius, In Cat. 7.29–32, translated by M. Chase)
