And Euthydemos said: “But who teaches those who learn, the teacher, or someone else?”
καὶ ὁ Εὐθύδημος, “ἀλλὰ τίς διδάσκει τοὺς μανθάνοντας,” ἔφη, “ὁ διδάσκαλος, ἢ ἄλλος τις;”
He agreed that the teacher teaches those who learn.
ὡμολόγει ὅτι ὁ διδάσκαλος τοὺς μανθάνοντας διδάσκει.
“And when the teacher was teaching you as children, were you pupils?”
“καὶ ὅτε ὁ διδάκαλος ἐδίδασκεν ὑμᾶς παῖδας ὄντας, ὑμεῖς μαθηταὶ ἦτε;”
He agreed that they were.
ὡμολογει.
“And when you were pupils, you knew nothing yet?”
“καὶ ὅτε μαθηταὶ γὰρ ὄντες, οὐδὲν ᾖστέ πω;”
“No, by Zeus! For since we were pupils, we knew nothing.”
“οὐ μὰ Δία. μαθηταὶ γὰρ ὄντες, οὐδὲν ᾖσμεν.”
“Were you then clever, when you knew nothing?”
“ἆρ’ οὖν σοφοὶ ἦτε, οὐκ εἰδότες οὐδέν;”
“No, indeed, we were certainly not clever since we knew nothing,” said Kleinias.
“οὐ δῆτα σοφοὶ ἦμεν,” ἦ δ’ ὃς ὁ Κλεινιας, “ἐπειδὴ οὐκ ᾖσμεν οὐδέν.”
“Therefore, if you were not clever, were you ignorant?”
“οὐκοῦν εἰ μὴ σοφοί, ἀμαθεῖς;”
“Certainly.”
“πάνυ γε.”
“So, then, when you were pupils you knew nothing, but being ignorant you were learning?”
“ὑμεῖς ἄρα, μαθηταὶ ὄντες, οὐκ ᾖστε οὐδέν, ἀλλ’ ἀμαθεῖς ὄντες ἐμανθάνετε;”
