“‘And who sees that they tread out the right corn, and that the threshing is level, Socrates?’“‘The threshers, clearly. By continually turning the untrodden corn and throwing it under the animal's feet they will, of course, keep it level on the floor and take least time over the work.’“‘So far, then, your knowledge is quite as good as mine.’
