[116b]

Alcibiades
Apparently.

Socrates
Now then, consider it again in this way: whoever does nobly, does well too, does he not?

Alcibiades
Yes.

Socrates
And are not those who do well happy?

Alcibiades
Of course.

Socrates
And they are happy because of the acquisition of good things?

Alcibiades
Certainly.

Socrates
And they acquire these by doing well and nobly?

Alcibiades
Yes.

Socrates
So doing well is good?

Alcibiades
Of course.

Socrates
And welfare is noble?

Alcibiades
Yes.
