Cratylus as one of the "earliest" linguistic philosophical texts[edit]

"In doing this, Cratylus became one of the earliest philosophical texts of the Classical Greek period to deal with matters of etymology and linguistics."

I find this statement to raise doubt in myself: linguistics, the philosophy of language, and, specifically, the "correctness of names" (as per Reeve's introduction to his translation) was a "topic of great interest to Plato's contemporaries." Nor can I find a reference to back this claim up. Would anybody object if I was to remove this statement? Mythpage88 (talk) 03:59, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
