The interpretation is strongly and ably revived by Emése Mogyoródi in an unpublished paper entitled “Reason and Revelation in Parmenides,” delivered at the Second International Conference of the International Association for Presocratic Studies, University of Edinburgh, July 2010.

“If someone were to point at one of the [sensible objects] and ask you, ‘What is it?,’ your safest answer by far, with respect to truth, would be to say ‘gold,’ but never ‘triangle’ or any of the other shapes that come to be in the gold, as though it is these, because they change even while you’re making the statement” (Plato, Timaeus, in Complete Works, ed. John M. Cooper and D.S. Hutchinson [Indianapolis, IN: Hackett, 1997], 1253 line 50B). This passage makes it clear that no particular copy of a form into the Receptacle lasts for more than an ephemeral moment.
