 2 Repub|        Euthydemus, and with them Thrasymachus the Chalcedonian, Charmantides
 3 Repub|         course of the discussion Thrasymachus had made an attempt to get
 4 Repub| therefore able to reply to him. ~Thrasymachus, I said, with a quiver,
 5 Repub|           You are a philosopher, Thrasymachus, I replied, and well know
 6 Repub|        that he were to retort: " Thrasymachus, what do you mean? If one
 7 Repub|           said Glaucon: and you, Thrasymachus, need be under no anxiety
 8 Repub|        joined in my request, and Thrasymachus, as anyone might see, was
 9 Repub|  interest of the stronger. What, Thrasymachus, is the meaning of this?
10 Repub|   witness, said Polemarchus, for Thrasymachus himself acknowledges that
11 Repub|          his statement. Tell me, Thrasymachus, I said, did you mean by
12 Repub|        of the stronger. ~Indeed, Thrasymachus, and do I really appear
13 Repub|       madman as to try and cheat Thrasymachus? I might as well shave a
14 Repub|      True, he said. ~But surely, Thrasymachus, the arts are the superiors
15 Repub|  reluctant "Yes." ~Then, I said, Thrasymachus, there is no one in any
16 Repub|       had been completely upset, Thrasymachus, instead of replying to
17 Repub|        own profit and interest. ~Thrasymachus, when he had thus spoken,
18 Repub|      that he would not leave us. Thrasymachus, I said to him, excellent
19 Repub|    deception. For I must remark, Thrasymachus, if you will recall what
20 Repub|    confers a benefit. ~Then now, Thrasymachus, there is no longer any
21 Repub|      this is the reason, my dear Thrasymachus, why, as I was just now
22 Repub|          am I from agreeing with Thrasymachus that justice is the interest
23 Repub|   discussed at present; but when Thrasymachus says that the life of the
24 Repub|   advantages of the unjust which Thrasymachus was rehearsing? ~Yes, I
25 Repub|        you propose. ~Well, then, Thrasymachus, I said, suppose you begin
26 Repub|       misapprehend your meaning, Thrasymachus, I replied; but still I
27 Repub|        reason to think that you, Thrasymachus, are speaking your real
28 Repub|          he replied. ~Very good, Thrasymachus, I said; and now to take
29 Repub|        Yes. ~But did we not say, Thrasymachus, that the unjust goes beyond
30 Repub|       unjust evil and ignorant. ~Thrasymachus made all these admissions,
31 Repub|         I had never seen before, Thrasymachus blushing. As we were now
32 Repub|    another point: ~Well, I said, Thrasymachus, that matter is now settled;
33 Repub|         want to view the matter, Thrasymachus, in a different way: You
34 Repub|        justice. ~I am delighted, Thrasymachus, to see you not only nodding
35 Repub|    friendship; is not that true, Thrasymachus? ~I agree, he said, because
36 Repub|          just? Is not that true, Thrasymachus? ~Yes. And, O my friend,
37 Repub|        course. ~Then, my blessed Thrasymachus, injustice can never be
38 Repub|         men, was dissatisfied at Thrasymachus's retirement; he wanted
39 Repub|        this was the thesis which Thrasymachus was maintaining just now,
40 Repub|     whether you and I agree. For Thrasymachus seems to me, like a snake,
41 Repub|      will revive the argument of Thrasymachus. And first I will speak
42 Repub|        when I hear the voices of Thrasymachus and myriads of others dinning
43 Repub|        of evils. I dare say that Thrasymachus and others would seriously
44 Repub|       that you really agree with Thrasymachus in thinking that justice
45 Repub|       the answer which I made to Thrasymachus, proving, as I thought,
46 Repub|       And without more ado, said Thrasymachus, you may consider us all
47 Repub|         will never be convinced; Thrasymachus least of all. ~Do not make
48 Repub|         quarrel, I said, between Thrasymachus and me, who have recently
49 Repub|          to pursue injustice, as Thrasymachus advises, or in accordance
50 Repub|        the Divine rules; not, as Thrasymachus supposed, to the injury
