380 Text | too, know wise things? But suppose a person were to ask us:
381 Text | us?~Very good, he said.~Suppose, said Callias, that we hold
382 Text | how by an example. Let me suppose that Hippocrates, instead
383 Text | associated with him: and then suppose that he were to ask him, ‘
384 Text | answer, ‘In painting.’ And suppose that he went to Orthagoras

387 Text | the existence of a state. Suppose that there could be no state

389 Text | answered.~Well then, I said, suppose that you and I enquire into
390 Text | Mine also, he said.~And suppose that some one were to ask
391 Text | not you?~Yes, he said.~And suppose that he went on to say: ‘
392 Text | said.~And then after this suppose that he came and asked us, ‘
393 Text | Protagoras gave the answer.’ And suppose that he turned to you and

413 1 | the example of the body. Suppose you were to ask me whether
414 1 | he were paid as well? ~I suppose not. ~But does he therefore

417 1 | the same case? ~That, I suppose, can hardly be denied. ~

456 5 | True. ~Let us further suppose the birth and education
457 5 | That is the inference, I suppose. ~I should rather expect,

467 6 | fail in some other respect. Suppose, then, I said, that we determine
468 6 | What do you mean? ~Let us suppose that philosophical minds
469 6 | not at all accustomed, I suppose. ~I perceive, I said, that

474 6 | be affirmed. ~And do not suppose that there will be many

477 6 | the same proportion, and suppose the two main divisions to
478 6 | and the cognate sciences I suppose that you would term understanding,
479 6 | scale of them, and let us suppose that the several faculties
480 7 | another, would they not suppose that they were naming what
481 7 | before them? ~Very true. ~And suppose further that the prison

485 7 | That is very true. ~Now, suppose a person were to say to
486 7 | do so, he replied. ~And suppose we make astronomy the third-what
487 7 | or intruder? ~Very true. ~Suppose, I said, the study of philosophy
488 7 | governesses too; for you must not suppose that what I have been saying
