The ἀνὴρ φιλόσοφος loves the σοφόν. What this word means for Heraclitus is hard to translate. But we can explain it according to Heraclitus' own interpretation. According to this τὸ σοφόν means, Εν Πάντα, "One (is) all." "All" means here, Πάντα τὰ ὄντα, the whole, the totality of being. Εν, one, means, the one, the unique, the all-uniting. But all being is united in Being. The σοφόν says--all being is in Being. To put it more pointedly--being is Being. In this instance "is" speaks transitively and means approximately "gathered together," "collected." Being gathers being together in so far as it is being. Being is the gathering together--Λόγος.
