 3 Craty|             quasi airete. You will think that I am inventing, but
 4 Craty|         but of a namer.~And now, I think that we may consider the
 5 Craty|           of ourselves learning to think and speak a new language,
 6 Craty|          ourselves; the attempt to think without words is a mere

 8 Craty|            In like manner we might think of the words which we daily
 9 Craty|     ATHENIAN STRANGER: Why, do you think that you can reckon the
10 Craty|           epoch, and we are apt to think that such an inestimable
11 Craty|           have often had reason to think that there are very bad
12 Craty| distinguishable, you will allow, I think, that the assertion of Protagoras
13 Craty|           by nature.~HERMOGENES: I think, Socrates, that you have
14 Craty|       ideal shuttle?~HERMOGENES: I think so.~SOCRATES: And whatever
15 Craty|     opinion all in a moment, and I think that I should be more readily
16 Craty|          natural names; do you not think so?~HERMOGENES: Why, of
17 Craty|            and other poets. Now, I think that this is beyond the
18 Craty|     faculties, as I am disposed to think; and what the poet means
19 Craty|         you, then, which did Homer think the more correct of the
20 Craty|          it. But, perhaps, you may think that I am talking nonsense;
21 Craty|    HERMOGENES: I assure you that I think otherwise, and I believe
22 Craty|       SOCRATES: There is reason, I think, in calling the lion’s whelp
23 Craty|         the name Agamemnon. I also think that Atreus is rightly called;
24 Craty|           meaning, for whether you think of him as ateires the stubborn,
25 Craty|         every point of view. And I think that Pelops is also named
26 Craty|            God), and others. But I think that we had better leave
27 Craty|          them names.~HERMOGENES: I think so, Socrates.~SOCRATES:
28 Craty|           name to them all. Do you think that likely?~HERMOGENES:
29 Craty|         that likely?~HERMOGENES: I think it very likely indeed.~SOCRATES:
30 Craty|          HERMOGENES: Then I rather think that I am of one mind with
31 Craty|           an epsilon.)~SOCRATES: I think that there is no difficulty
32 Craty|          mortal man for a Goddess; think of the word in the old Attic,
33 Craty|         even if I could, because I think that you are the more likely
34 Craty|          and this derivation is, I think, more scientific than the
35 Craty|          be changed.~HERMOGENES: I think, Socrates, that we have
36 Craty|            any other. That also, I think, is a very good custom,
37 Craty|         small blame.~HERMOGENES: I think, Socrates, that you are
38 Craty|         Heracleitus.~HERMOGENES: I think that there is something
39 Craty|           SOCRATES: And do you not think that many a one would escape
40 Craty|        wine makes those who drink, think (oiesthai) that they have
41 Craty|       interpreters of Homer may, I think, assist in explaining the
42 Craty|         been improved by us, as we think, into Hermes. Iris also
43 Craty|            reality of nature; they think that there is nothing stable
44 Craty|           justice.’ Thereupon they think that I ask tiresome questions,
45 Craty|           mentioned.~HERMOGENES: I think, Socrates, that you are
46 Craty|            after justice? I do not think that we have as yet discussed
47 Craty|           invention of mine, but I think that if the previous word
48 Craty|            sumpheron (expedient) I think that you may discover for
49 Craty|            mere negatives I hardly think that I need speak.~HERMOGENES:
50 Craty|       Socrates?~SOCRATES: I do not think, Hermogenes, that there
51 Craty|            HERMOGENES: What do you think of doxa (opinion), and that
52 Craty|           conclusion. And if, as I think, the conclusion is true,
53 Craty|            assist you.~SOCRATES: I think that you will acknowledge
54 Craty|       HERMOGENES: It must be so, I think.~SOCRATES: Then a name is
55 Craty|            imitates?~HERMOGENES: I think so.~SOCRATES: Nay, my friend,
56 Craty|           friend, I am disposed to think that we have not reached
57 Craty|      essence?~HERMOGENES: I should think so.~SOCRATES: Well, and
58 Craty|            If this is true, then I think that we are in a condition
59 Craty|        well as we can. What do you think?~HERMOGENES: I very much
60 Craty|             And, therefore, if you think that you can add anything
61 Craty|           hesitate to say what you think, which if it be better than
62 Craty|         cannot trust myself. And I think that I ought to stop and
63 Craty|           say, as I am disposed to think, is quite true.~SOCRATES:
64 Craty|          SOCRATES: Then you do not think that some laws are better
65 Craty|          of those philosophers who think that falsehood may be spoken
66 Craty|             CRATYLUS: I agree; and think that what you say is very
67 Craty|           few of them are given. I think that we had better admit
68 Craty|           like to know whether you think with me. Were we not lately
69 Craty|           from others.~CRATYLUS: I think that there is a good deal
70 Craty|          What you are saying is, I think, true.~SOCRATES: Well, but
71 Craty|           was their sincere but, I think, mistaken opinion. And having
72 Craty|             Certainly, Socrates, I think so.~SOCRATES: Then let us
73 Craty|          also exist, then I do not think that they can resemble a
74 Craty|          that you will continue to think about these things yourself.~
