[454c] for, as I say, I ask my questions with a view to an orderly completion of our argument—I am not aiming at you, but only anxious that we do not fall into a habit of snatching at each other's words with a hasty guess, and that you may complete your own statement in your own way, as the premises may allow.

Gorgias

Socrates

Gorgias
There is.

Socrates
And again, “having believed”?

Gorgias
Yes.
