10 Euthyd|           Ctesippus, the lover of Cleinias, interposes in great excitement,

17 Euthyd|        habits. There is the youth Cleinias, the grandson of Alcibiades,
18 Euthyd|           invented the answers of Cleinias (compare Phaedrus). The
19 Euthyd|    Ctesippus, who is the lover of Cleinias, has been already introduced
20 Euthyd|          declaration of the youth Cleinias; and (4) not yet to have
21 Euthyd|           of the Dialogue. Crito, Cleinias, Euthydemus, Dionysodorus,
22 Euthyd|           side. In the middle was Cleinias the young son of Axiochus,
23 Euthyd|           two or three turns when Cleinias entered, who, as you truly
24 Euthyd|     having the wildness of youth. Cleinias saw me from the entrance
25 Euthyd|          time; and then I said to Cleinias: Here are two wise men,
26 Euthyd|      Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, Cleinias, wise not in a small but
27 Euthyd|            and there is the youth Cleinias, and Ctesippus: and here
28 Euthyd|         pointing to the lovers of Cleinias, who were beginning to gather
29 Euthyd|     sitting at some distance from Cleinias; and when Euthydemus leaned
30 Euthyd|         was prevented from seeing Cleinias, who was between us; and
31 Euthyd|         all the other admirers of Cleinias, as well as the disciples
32 Euthyd|           truly good. His name is Cleinias, and he is the son of Axiochus,
33 Euthyd|        began nearly as follows: O Cleinias, are those who learn the
34 Euthyd| disconcerted, said: Take courage, Cleinias, and answer like a man whichever
35 Euthyd|      While he was speaking to me, Cleinias gave his answer: and therefore
36 Euthyd|          learn, and not the wise, Cleinias, as you imagine.~At these
37 Euthyd|           in hand, and said: Yes, Cleinias; and when the grammar-master
38 Euthyd|      dictation?~The wise, replied Cleinias.~Then after all the wise
39 Euthyd|         your disciples.~Meanwhile Cleinias had answered Euthydemus
40 Euthyd|         letters learns?~Nay, said Cleinias; but I do learn.~Then, said
41 Euthyd|       another throw at the youth. Cleinias, he said, Euthydemus is
42 Euthyd|         of that which one learns?~Cleinias assented.~And knowing is
43 Euthyd|        who have?~He agreed.~Then, Cleinias, he said, those who do not
44 Euthyd|        You must not be surprised, Cleinias, at the singularity of their
45 Euthyd|  happiness?~There is no one, said Cleinias, who does not.~Well, then,
46 Euthyd|          verily and indeed think, Cleinias, that we shall be more right
47 Euthyd|         say?~They are goods, said Cleinias.~Very well, I said; and
48 Euthyd|          think that we have, said Cleinias.~Upon recollection, I said,
49 Euthyd|          that? he asked.~Fortune, Cleinias, I replied; which all, even
50 Euthyd|          to him: Do you not know, Cleinias, that flute-players are
51 Euthyd|          having them?~True.~Well, Cleinias, but if you have the use
52 Euthyd|      allowed by us.~Then, I said, Cleinias, the sum of the matter appears
53 Euthyd|         not at all dishonourable, Cleinias; nor is any one to be blamed
54 Euthyd|           are right.~Yes, I said, Cleinias, if only wisdom can be taught,
55 Euthyd|          so you say that you wish Cleinias to become wise?~Undoubtedly.~
56 Euthyd|         to repeat, as that I wish Cleinias to perish?~Euthydemus replied:
57 Euthyd|        has no existence, or do to Cleinias that which is not and is
58 Euthyd|      repeat what I said before to Cleinias—that you do not understand
59 Euthyd|         also may be serious. You, Cleinias, I said, shall remind me
60 Euthyd|          should say, no, rejoined Cleinias.~And why should you say
61 Euthyd|           very extraordinary men, Cleinias, and their art is lofty
62 Euthyd|        what is your notion? asked Cleinias.~I think that the art of
63 Euthyd|          said, fairest and wisest Cleinias. And is this true?~Certainly,
64 Euthyd|           Socrates.~SOCRATES: And Cleinias and I had arrived at the
65 Euthyd|           upon his mettle because Cleinias was present).~When you are
66 Euthyd|          with him. This delighted Cleinias, whose laughter made Ctesippus
67 Euthyd|           time. Why do you laugh, Cleinias, I said, at such solemn
68 Euthyd|     request that you will receive Cleinias and me among your pupils.~
