[448a]

Gorgias
He is, Chaerephon; indeed, I was just now making this very profession, and I may add that nobody has asked me anything new for many years now.

Chaerephon
So I presume you will easily answer, Gorgias.

Gorgias
You are free to make trial of that, Chaerephon.

Polus
Yes, to be sure; and, if you like, Chaerephon, of me. For I think Gorgias must be quite tired out, after the long discourse he has just delivered.

Chaerephon
Why, Polus, do you suppose you could answer more excellently than Gorgias?
