relationship between readable, visible and 'read only'

In a profile I can see:

    <fieldPermissions>
        <editable>true</editable>
        <field>Time_Log__c.Date__c</field>
        <readable>true</readable>
    </fieldPermissions>

but using the 'Set Field-Level Security' web interface I can only see:  visible  and  'Read Only' options. Please, tell me what means readable? I suspect it means     readable = Read Only  +  Visible

am I right?

Visible : If you check the "Visible" checkbox, that field will be visible to that profile. User can read & edit that field

Read-Only: If you check the "Read-Only" checkbox, that field will be read only for the users of that profile. User can only see that field, he can't edit. Field must be Visible to be Read-Only

Readable: Read permission on an object gives the access to view records that are either created by users themselves or any record that is being shared by sharing rules/role/manual sharing

For visible and Read-only, if you download all the metadata from salesforce using the force.ide (Eclipse), which file(s) has these settings?
