[16]
πάντα ἐν τῇ πόλει. ὑμεῖς δέ, ὦ φίλαι, ἐν
τῇ Ποικίλῃ τέως περιπατήσατε: ἥξω γὰρ ὑμῖν ἐκδικάσασα τὴν δίκην.
Παρρησιάδης
τίνες δὲ εἰσιν, ὦ Φιλοσοφία; πάνυ γάρ μοι κόσμιαι καὶ αὗται δοκοῦσιν.
[p. 26]
Φιλοσοφία
ἀρετὴ μὲν ἡ ἀνδρώδης αὕτη, Σωφροσύνη δὲ ἐκείνη καὶ Δικαιοσύνη ἡ παρ᾽ αὐτήν. ἡ
προηγουμένη δὲ Παιδεία, ἡ ἀμυδρὰ δὲ καὶ ἀσαφὴς τὸ
χρῶμα ἡ Ἀλήθειά ἐστιν.
Παρρησιάδης
οὐχ ὁρῶ ἥντινα καὶ λέγεις.
Φιλοσοφία
τὴν ἀκαλλώπιστον ἐκείνην οὐχ ὁρᾷς, τὴν γυμνήν, τὴν ὑποφεύγουσαν ἀεὶ καὶ διολισθάνουσαν;
Παρρησιάδης
ὁρῶ νῦν μόλις. ἀλλὰ τί οὐχὶ καὶ ταύτας ἄγεις, ὡς πλῆρες γένοιτο καὶ ἐντελὲς τὸ
συνέδριον; τὴν Ἀλήθειαν δέ γε καὶ συνήγορον ἀναβιβάσασθαι πρὸς τὴν δίκην βούλομαι.
Φιλοσοφία
νὴ Δία, ἀκολουθήσατε καὶ ὑμεῖς: οὐ βαρὺ γὰρ μίαν δικάσαι δίκην, καὶ ταῦτα περὶ τῶν ἡμετέρων ἐσομένην.
Ἀλήθεια
