Σολοικιστής

Ταῦτα μὲν οὐκ οἶδα πῶς λέγεις· ἐγὼ δὲ πολλοὺς ἤδη σολοικίζοντας κατενόησα.

Λυκῖνος

Κἀμὲ τοίνυν εἴσῃ τότε, ὅταν τι τῶν παιδίων v.2.p.559 γένῃ τῶν τὰς τίτθας θηλαζόντων. ἢ εἰ οὐ νῦν ἔγνως σολοικίζοντά με, οὐδὲ αὐξάνοντα παιδία σολοικισμὸν ποιήσει τῷ μηδὲν εἰδότι.

Σολοικιστής

Ἀληθῆ λέγεις.

Λυκῖνος

Καὶ μὴν εἰ ταῦτα ἀγνοήσομεν, οὐδὲν γνωσόμεθα τῶν ἑαυτῶν, ἐπεὶ καὶ τόδε σολοικισθὲν ἀπέφυγέ v.2.p.560 σε. μὴ τοίνυν ἔτι λέγειν, ὡς ἱκανὸς εἶ κατιδεῖν τὸν σολοικίζοντα, καὶ αὐτὸς μὴ σολοικίζειν.

The Purist Purized Perseus (The Works of Lucian of Samosata, Vol. 4. Fowler, Henry Watson and Fowler, Francis George, translators. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1905.) — 4 focus

Purist

What you mean by that I am sure I don’t know; but I have often caught people out in blunders.

Lycinus

Well, you will catch me about the time that you are a sucking child again. By the way, a babe laying in his cradle would hardly jar on your notions of grammar, if you have not yet got me.

Purist

Well, I am convinced.

Lycinus

Now, if we cannot detect blunders like these, we are not likely to know much about our own; you see, you have just missed another. Very well now, never again call yourself competent either to detect blunders or to avoid them.
