εἰώθει δὲ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς σολοικίζοντας v.2.p.567 Ἀττικῶς παίζειν ἀνεπαχθῶς· πρὸς γοῦν τὸν εἰπόντα, Νῶϊ τοῦτο δοκεῖ, Σύ, ἔφη, καὶ νῶϊν ἐρεῖς ὡς ἁμαρτάνομεν. ἑτέρου δὲ σπουδῇ διηγουμένου τι τῶν ἐπιχωρίων καὶ εἰπόντος, Ἡ δὲ τῷ Ἡρακλεῖ μιχθεῖσα, Οὐκ ἄρα, ἔφη, ὁ Ἡρακλῆς ἐμίχθη αὐτῇ; καρῆναι δέ τινος εἰπόντος ὡς v.2.p.568 δέοιτο, Τί γάρ, ἔφη, σοὶ δεινὸν εἴργασται καὶ ἄξιον ἀτιμίας; καὶ ζυγομαχεῖν δέ τινος εἰπόντος, Πρὸς τὸν ἐχθρόν, εἶπε, ζυγομαχεῖς; ἑτέρου δὲ εἰπόντος βασανίζεσθαι τὸν παῖδα αὐτῷ νοσοῦντα, Ἐπὶ τῷ, ἔφη, ἢ τί βουλομένου v.2.p.569 τοῦ βασανίζοντος; προκόπτει δέ τινος εἰπόντος ἐν τοῖς μαθήμασιν, Ὁ δὲ Πλάτων, ἔφη, τοῦτο ἐπιδιδόναι καλεῖ. ἐρομένου δέ τινος εἰ μελετήσει ὁ δεῖνα, Πῶς οὖν, ἔφη, v.2.p.570 ἐμὲ ἐρωτῶν εἰ μελετήσομαι, λέγεις ὅτι ὁ δεῖνα;

Lycinus

He would apply the same delicate treatment to people unsound in their Attic.

‘That’s the truth of it,’ said some one, ‘between you and I.'

‘Ah no, you will have to admit that you and me are wrong there.’

Another person giving a circumstantial account of a local legend said: ‘So when she mingled with Heracles—’ ‘Without Heracles’s mingling with her?’

He asked a man who told him that he must have a close crop, what his particular felony had been.

‘There I quarrel,’ said his opponent in an argument. ‘It takes two to make a quarrel.’

When some one described his sick servant as undergomg torture, he asked, ‘What for? what do they suppose they are going to get out of him?’

Some one was said to be going ahead in his studies. ‘Let me see,’ he said; ‘it is Plato, I think, who calls that making progress.’

'Will we have a fine day?'' ‘If God shall.’
