Lycinus

But enough of Socrates. Shall we have another match on the old lines? I will give you nothing but first-rate ones. Have your eyes open. You will surely be able to do it now, after hearing such a list of them.

Purist

I am by no means so sure of that. Proceed, however.

Lycinus

Not sure? well, but here you have the door broad open.

Purist

Say on.

Lycinus

I have said.

Purist

Nothing that I observed.

Lycinus

What, not observed ‘broad open’?

Purist

No.

Lycinus

Well, what is to happen, if you cannot follow now? Every man can crow on his own hay-cock, and I thought this was yours. Did you get that hay-cock? You don’t seem to attend; look at the mutual help Socrates and I have just given you.

Purist

I am attending; but you are so sly with them.

Λυκῖνος

Ἐπανίωμεν δέ, εἰ δοκεῖ, ἐπὶ τὴν ἅμιλλαν τῶν προτέρων λόγων. κἀγὼ μὲν καλῶ τοὺς βελτίστους εἶναι ὅλους, σὺ δὲ γνώρισον· οἶμαι γάρ σε κἂν νῦν δυνήσεσθαι τοσούτων γε ἐπακούσαντα τῶν ἑξῆς λεγομένων.

v.2.p.575

Σολοικιστής

Ἴσως μὲν οὐδὲ νῦν δυνήσομαί σου λέγοντος· ὅμως εἰπέ.

Λυκῖνος

Καὶ πῶς φὴς οὐ δυνήσεσθαι; ἡ γὰρ θύρα σχεδὸν ἀνέῳγέ σοι τῆς γνωρίσεως αὐτῶν.

Σολοικιστής

Εἰπὲ τοίνυν.

Λυκῖνος

Ἀλλὰ εἶπον.

Σολοικιστής

Οὐδέν γε, ὥστε ἐμὲ μαθεῖν.

Λυκῖνος

Οὐ γὰρ ἔμαθες τὸ ἀνέῳγεν;

Σολοικιστής

Οὐκ ἔμαθον.

Λυκῖνος

Τί οὖν πεισόμεθα, εἰ μηδὲ νῦν ἀκολουθήσεις τοῖς λεγομένοις; καίτοι πρός γε τὰ κατ’ ἀρχὰς ῥηθέντα ὑπὸ σοῦ ἐγὼ μὲν ᾤμην ἱππεῖς ἐς πεδίον καλεῖν. σὺ δὲ v.2.p.576 τοὺς ἱππεῖς κατενόησας; ἀλλὰ ἔοικας οὐ φροντίζειν τῶν λόγων, μάλιστα οὓς νῦν κατὰ σφᾶς αὐτοὺς διήλθομεν.
