So Euthydemos said these things.

And the students, making a din and laughing at the same time, praised this cleverness.

“Who learns these words, the clever or the ignorant?”

“The clever,” said Kleinias.
“οἱ σοφοί,” ἦ δ’ ὃς ὁ Κλεινίας.

“οἱ σοφοὶ ἄρα μανθάνουσιν, ἀλλ’ οὐχὶ οἱ ἀμαθεῖς, καὶ οὐκ εὖ συ ἄρτι ἀπεκρίνω.”
At this point the students, laughing vigorously and making a din, immediately praised this cleverness.
ἐνταῦθα δὴ καὶ πάνυ γελάσαντές τε καὶ θορυβήσαντες, οἱ μαθηταὶ τὴν σοφίαν ταύτην εὐθὺς ἐπῄνεσαν.
