[110b]
Socrates
Many a time I heard you, when as a child you were dicing or playing some other game at your teacher's or elsewhere, instead of showing hesitation about what was just and unjust, speak in very loud and confident tones about one or other of your playmates, saying he was a rascal and a cheat who played unfairly. Is not this a true account?Alcibiades
But what was I to do, Socrates, when somebody cheated me?Socrates
Yet if you were ignorant then whether you were being unfairly treated or not, how can you ask—“What are you to do?”
