 7 Intro|     about everywhere; and let us suppose a hunt after the science
 8 Intro|        opinion? As well might we suppose that ignorance could make
 9 Intro|      another alternative:—We may suppose that the syllable has a

15 Intro|          the same manner? Can we suppose one set of feelings or one
16 Intro|          cause, and therefore we suppose the train of our thoughts

19  Thea|      praise him, lest you should suppose that I was in love with
20  Thea|         your word.~THEAETETUS: I suppose I must, if you wish it.~
21  Thea|        me offer an illustration: Suppose that a person were to ask
22  Thea|        art.~SOCRATES: And do you suppose that with women the case
23  Thea|        who is not?~THEAETETUS: I suppose the last.~SOCRATES: Then

25  Thea|         not to me.~THEAETETUS: I suppose so.~SOCRATES: How then,

27  Thea|        any help, and therefore I suppose that I must take up his
28  Thea|         not I. For do you really suppose that any one would admit

32  Thea|       stripes and death, as they suppose, which evil-doers often
33  Thea|  THEODORUS: Very true.~SOCRATES: Suppose now, that we ask Protagoras,
34  Thea|          everywhere.~SOCRATES: I suppose, Theodorus, that you have
35  Thea|          knowledge?~THEODORUS: I suppose not.~SOCRATES: Here, then,
36  Thea|           my boy, for no one can suppose that in each of us, as in
