Dialogue

 1 Menex|       obtained authority. A tendency may also be observed to blend
 2 Menex|       evidence in their favour. They may have been supposed by him
 3 Menex|          external credentials. There may be also a possibility that
 4 Menex|           Aristotle was mistaken, or may have confused the master
 5 Menex|            but Plato. And lastly, we may remark that one or two great
 6 Menex|         Aristotelian (1) credentials may be fairly attributed to
 7 Menex|             of ancient Greek authors may be summed up under two heads
 8 Menex|            genuine or spurious. They may have been written in youth,
 9 Menex|              works of some painters, may be partly or wholly the
10 Menex|      compositions of pupils; or they may have been the writings of
11 Menex|            singular by Aristotle, we may perhaps infer that he was
12 Menex|              thought of the dialogue may be detected in Xen. Mem.,
13 Menex|         argument. On the whole, more may be said in favour of the
14 Menex|            in the Phaedrus, and this may have suggested the subject,
15 Menex|              The motive of the piece may, perhaps, be found in that
16 Menex|              class to another. There may have been degrees of genuineness
17 Menex|           both of Socrates and Plato may have formed the basis of
18 Menex| semi-Platonic writings; some of them may be of the same mixed character
19 Menex|              criticism of the reader may be partly spurious and partly
20 Menex|             and partly genuine; they may be altogether spurious;—
21 Menex|          Hippias and the Cleitophon, may be genuine. The nature and
22 Menex|       considerable change and growth may have taken place in his
23 Menex|               Such discourses, if we may form a judgment from the
24 Menex|          line, as in the Phaedrus he may be supposed to offer an
25 Menex|         whether original or imitated may be uncertain. Socrates,
26 Menex|            at the end of the oration may also be compared to the
27 Menex|            excellence of the forgery may be fairly adduced as an
28 Menex|            from the Funeral Oration, may perhaps turn the balance
29 Menex|          costly funeral, although he may have been poor, and an elaborate
30 Menex|           although he who is praised may not have been good for much.
31 Menex|              afraid that my mistress may be angry with me if I publish
32 Menex|           the survivors, if any, who may chance to be alive of the
33 Menex|              The second praise which may be fairly claimed by her,
34 Menex|           power over them, that they may be reconciled even as we
35 Menex|             place in which one of us may meet one of you who are
36 Menex|       possible that their orphanhood may not be felt by them; while
37 Menex|             you are incredulous, you may come with me and hear her.~
