Chorus.
Do you perceive that you are soon to obtain the greatest benefits through us alone of the gods? For this man is ready to do everything that you bid him.
But you, while the man is astounded and evidently elated, having perceived it, will quickly fleece him to the best of your power.
Exit Socrates. For matters of this sort are somehow accustomed to turn the other way.
