Yesterday I went to the Lycaeum, Kriton, and I found Euthydemos and Dionysodoros conversing with many others.

I said: “Do you Dionysodoros, have a reputation for turning people to philosophy and virtue or not?”

Question 20

“ἀλλὰ διὰ τί οὐκ ἐξετάζετε τὸν νεανίσκον, διαλεγόμενοι ἔνθαδε ἐναντίον ἡμῶν.”

Answer 20

“But why don’t you question the young man closely, talking here in front of us?”

Question 21

ὁ δὲ Εὐθύδμος εὐθὺς ἀνδρείως ἀπεκρίνατο·

Answer 21

Euthydemos immediately answered boldly:

Question 22

“βουλόμεθα δὴ ἐνθάδε διαλέγεσθαι, ὦ Σώκρατες.”

Answer 22

“We are certainly willing to talk here, Socrates.”

Question 27

καὶ ὁ Εὐθύδημος, “ἄκουε οὖν, ὦ Κλεινία,” ἦ δ’ ὅς, “ἀκούσας δέ, ἀποκρίνου.”

Question 31

“λέγων γὰρ δήπου καὶ ἐξετάζων ὁ σοφιστὴς προστρέπει τοὺς μαθητὰς εἰς ἀρετήν.”

Answer 31

“For it is by speaking and questioning that a sophist turns his students to virtue.”

Question 32

καὶ ὁ Εὐθύδημος “εἰπὲ οὖν,” ἔφη, “πότεροι εἰσιν οἱ μανθάνοντες, οἱ σοφοὶ ἢ οἱ ἀμαθεῖς;”

And being at a loss he looked at me and blushed.

Question 35

ἐγὼ δ’ ἐρυθριῶντα αὐτὸν ὀρῶν “μὴ φρόντιζε,” ἔφην, “μηδὲ φόβοῦ, ἀλλ’ ἀνδρείως ἀποκρίνου.”

Answer 35

I, seeing him blush, said: “Don’t worry, and don’t be afraid, but answer boldly.”

Question 36

καὶ ἐν τούτῳ ὁ Διονυσόδωρος ἐγέλασεν, γελάσας δέ, …

Answer 36

And at this moment Dionysodoros laughed and with a laugh said:

Question 37

“καὶ μήν,” ἦ δ’ ὅς, “εὖ οἶδ’ ὅτι Εὐθύδημος αὐτὸν νικήσει λέγων.”

Answer 37

“Indeed I know very well that Euthydemos will defeat him in discussion.”

Question 38

καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἀπεκρινάμην.

Answer 38

I did not answer.

ὁ γὰρ Κλεινίας, ἕως ταῦτα ἔλεγεν ὁ Διονυσόδωρος, ἀποκρινάμενος ἔτυχεν ὅτι οἱ σοφοί εἰσιν οἱ μανθάνοντες.
