12 Text |        reason why my three accusers, Meletus and Anytus and Lycon, have
13 Text |             Lycon, have set upon me; Meletus, who has a quarrel with

17 Text |          their improver is.—Observe, Meletus, that you are silent, and
18 Text |            What, do you mean to say, Meletus, that they are able to instruct
19 Text |              them? Is not that true, Meletus, of horses, or of any other
20 Text |            their improvers. But you, Meletus, have sufficiently shown

26 Text |           and the moon earth.~Friend Meletus, you think that you are
27 Text |         extraordinary views. And so, Meletus, you really think that I
