Translation: "
Plato published the dialogs after the fashion of the tragedians' tetralogy. For they competed with four plays, at the Dionysia, Lenaea, Panathenaia, Chytra; of which the satyr play was the fourth. The four plays were called a tetralogy. So all dialogs known for
Plato are 56. [...] [Thrasylus] uses double titles in respect of each of the works, one from the name [of the interlocutor in the dialog], the other from the subject-matter.
Euthyphro, or
On the holy, leads this tetralogy which is the first; it is an exploratory dialog. Second the
Apology [Defence] of Socrates, an ethical one. Third
Crito, or
On action [= what must be done], ethical. Fourth
Phaedo, or
On the soul, ethical. The second tetralogy..." and so on. In the book of
Diogenes Laertius on the
Lives of the Philosophers.[1]

Notes:
[1] The two passages come directly from
Diogenes Laertius 3.56-58, who cites the C1 AD Alexandrian librarian Thrasyl[l]us for this analysis of
Plato's dialogs.
[2] This addendum (a marginal addition in ms. V), presupposing a missing headword "Tetrameter", is repeated exactly from
omicron 127, "octameter". See also
alpha 3932.
