PLATO

Do you see that? He is suborning Truth against us, Philosophy.

PHILOSOPHY

Then you, Plato and Chrysippus and Aristotle, are afraid that she, Truth, may tell some lie ‘in his behalf?

PLATO

It isn’t that, but he is terribly unprincipled and smooth-tongued, so that he will seduce her.

PHILOSOPHY

Have no fear. No injustice will be done while we have Justice here with us.

Πλάτων

ὁρᾷς; προσεταιρίζεται καθʼ ἡμῶν, ὦ Φιλοσοφία, τὴν Ἀλήθειαν.

Φιλοσοφία

εἶτα δέδιτε, ὦ Πλάτων καὶ Χρύσιππε καὶ Ἀριστότελες, μή τι ψεύσηται ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ Ἀλήθεια οὖσα;

Πλάτων

οὐ τοῦτο, ἀλλὰ δεινῶς πανοῦργός ἐστιν καὶ κολακικός· ὥστε παραπείσει αὐτήν.

Φιλοσοφία

θαρρεῖτε· οὐδὲν μὴ γένηται ἄδικον, Δικαιοσύνης ταύτης συμπαρούσης.

Never fear; no wrong will be done, with madam Justice on the bench by us. Let us go up.
