[504b]

Callicles
Yes.

Socrates
And further, with our bodies also, can we say?

Callicles
Certainly.

Socrates
And what of the soul? If it shows irregularity, will it be good, or if it has a certain regularity and order?

Callicles
Our former statements oblige us to agree to this also.

Socrates
Then what name do we give to the effect of regularity and order in the body?

Callicles
Health and strength, I suppose you mean.
