Euthydemus.
Crito, Socrates.
CRITO. Who
was the person, Socrates, with whom you
were talkuig yesterday at the Lyceum? There was such a
crowd around you that I could not get within hearing, but I
caught a sight of him over their heads, and I made out, as
I thought, that he was a stranger with whom you were
talking: who was he?
Socrates. There were two, Crito; which of them do you mean?
Cri. The one whom I mean was seated second from you on the right-hand side. In the middle was Cleinias the young son of Axiochus, who has wonderfully grown ; he is only about the age of my own Critobulus, but he is much forwarder and very good-looking : the other is thin and looks younger than he is.
Soc. He whom you mean, Crito, is Euthydemus; and on my left hand there was his brother Dionysodorus, who also took part in the conversation.
Cri.[1] Neither of them are known to me, Socrates; they are a new importation of Sophists, as I should imagine. Of what country are they, and what is their line of wisdom?
- ↑ Or, according to the arrangement of Stallbaum:—
Cri. Neither of them are known to me.
Soc. They are a new importation of Sophists, as I should imagine.
Cri. Of what country, &c.
