Dialogue

 1 Intro|               There is no reason to suppose that in all this Plato is
 2  Prot|             you have no engagement, suppose that you sit down and tell
 3  Prot|           your friends as well. Now suppose, that while we are thus
 4  Prot|             Sophist?~Certainly.~But suppose a person were to ask this
 5  Prot|             the former instances, I suppose that he will make a Sophist
 6  Prot|          too, know wise things? But suppose a person were to ask us:
 7  Prot|             us?~Very good, he said.~Suppose, said Callias, that we hold
 8  Prot|           how by an example. Let me suppose that Hippocrates, instead
 9  Prot|       associated with him: and then suppose that he were to ask him, ‘
10  Prot|          answer, ‘In painting.’ And suppose that he went to Orthagoras
11  Prot|    phenomenon.~And that you may not suppose yourself to be deceived
12  Prot|         those whose calamities they suppose to be due to nature or chance;
13  Prot|           the existence of a state. Suppose that there could be no state
14  Prot|         teach justice and the laws;—suppose, I say, that there were
15  Prot|        answered.~Well then, I said, suppose that you and I enquire into
16  Prot|             Mine also, he said.~And suppose that some one were to ask
17  Prot|          not you?~Yes, he said.~And suppose that he went on to say: ‘
18  Prot|           said.~And then after this suppose that he came and asked us, ‘

22  Prot|            an illustration? I said. Suppose some one who is enquiring
23  Prot|         which mankind are in error.~Suppose, then, that you and I endeavour

25  Prot|             will not deny this. And suppose that you and I were to go

27  Prot|           will grant that also. Now suppose happiness to consist in
