 15 Intro|      interlocutors are Simmias and Cebes, the disciples of Philolaus

 20 Intro|        protagonist and Simmias and Cebes the secondary performers,
 21 Text |    Socrates, Apollodorus, Simmias, Cebes, Crito and an Attendant
 22 Text |            Simmias the Theban, and Cebes, and Phaedondes; Euclid
 23 Text |      appears to succeed.~Upon this Cebes said: I am glad, Socrates,
 24 Text |        honour of Apollo.~Tell him, Cebes, he replied, what is the
 25 Text |        verse. Tell this to Evenus, Cebes, and bid him be of good
 26 Text |           Why do you say, enquired Cebes, that a man ought not to
 27 Text |    Socrates replied: And have you, Cebes and Simmias, who are the
 28 Text |           another.~Very true, said Cebes, laughing gently and speaking
 29 Text |           Yes, I quite agree, said Cebes.~And if one of your own
 30 Text |          could?~Certainly, replied Cebes.~Then, if we look at the
 31 Text |            me.~Yes, Socrates, said Cebes, there seems to be truth
 32 Text |           life.~The earnestness of Cebes seemed to please Socrates.
 33 Text |          And I rather imagine that Cebes is referring to you; he
 34 Text |        ready to admit, Simmias and Cebes, that I ought to be grieved
 35 Text |           this may be, Simmias and Cebes, I will endeavour to explain.
 36 Text |            I am right, Simmias and Cebes, in not grieving or repining
 37 Text |           judges, it will be well.~Cebes answered: I agree, Socrates,
 38 Text |       force or intelligence.~True, Cebes, said Socrates; and shall
 39 Text |            things?~I am sure, said Cebes, that I should greatly like
 40 Text |        adduced.~Very true, replied Cebes.~Then let us consider the
 41 Text |         whether things or persons, Cebes, are generated from the
 42 Text |        admissions were not unfair, Cebes, he said, may be shown,
 43 Text |            in like manner, my dear Cebes, if all things which partook
 44 Text |          no escape, Socrates, said Cebes; and to me your argument
 45 Text |     absolutely true.~Yes, he said, Cebes, it is and must be so, in
 46 Text |      better portion than the evil.~Cebes added: Your favorite doctrine,
 47 Text |          immortality.~But tell me, Cebes, said Simmias, interposing,
 48 Text |          One excellent proof, said Cebes, is afforded by questions.
 49 Text |       recollection, and, from what Cebes has said, I am beginning
 50 Text |          sees Simmias may remember Cebes; and there are endless examples
 51 Text |         you may be led to remember Cebes?~True.~Or you may also be
 52 Text |            the proof.~Well, but is Cebes equally satisfied? for I
 53 Text |          think, said Simmias, that Cebes is satisfied: although he
 54 Text |       feeling of the many to which Cebes was referring—the feeling
 55 Text |           Very true, Simmias, said Cebes; about half of what was
 56 Text |            that proof, Simmias and Cebes, has been already given,
 57 Text |          not when the sky is calm.~Cebes answered with a smile: Then,
 58 Text |         replied, is a large place, Cebes, and has many good men,
 59 Text |        search.~The search, replied Cebes, shall certainly be made.
 60 Text |            should imagine so, said Cebes.~And the uncompounded may
 61 Text |            same, Socrates, replied Cebes.~And what would you say
 62 Text |       another?~The latter, replied Cebes; they are always in a state
 63 Text |            Socrates.~Then reflect, Cebes: of all which has been said
 64 Text |      changeable. Can this, my dear Cebes, be denied?~It cannot.~But
 65 Text |            be, my dear Simmias and Cebes. The truth rather is, that
 66 Text |          Apol.). Is not this true, Cebes?~Yes, said Cebes, beyond
 67 Text |        this true, Cebes?~Yes, said Cebes, beyond a doubt.~But the
 68 Text |          Yes, that is very likely, Cebes; and these must be the souls,
 69 Text |      suppose them to go?~Yes, said Cebes; with such natures, beyond
 70 Text |            the reason, Simmias and Cebes, why the true votaries of
 71 Text |        would not become them, said Cebes.~No indeed, he replied;
 72 Text |         What is it, Socrates? said Cebes.~The evil is that when the
 73 Text |           true, Socrates, answered Cebes.~And this, Cebes, is the
 74 Text |          answered Cebes.~And this, Cebes, is the reason why the true
 75 Text |            Never fear, Simmias and Cebes, that a soul which has been
 76 Text |           what had been said; only Cebes and Simmias spoke a few
 77 Text |        tell you my difficulty, and Cebes will tell you his. I feel
 78 Text |       matter, either alone or with Cebes, the argument does certainly
 79 Text |          had better also hear what Cebes has to say that we may gain
 80 Text |            Please to tell me then, Cebes, he said, what was the difficulty
 81 Text |     difficulty which troubled you?~Cebes said: I will tell you. My
 82 Text |         ground against Simmias and Cebes, I would myself take an
 83 Text |         state of mind, Simmias and Cebes, in which I approach the
 84 Text |          first. On the other hand, Cebes appeared to grant that the
 85 Text |         Are not these, Simmias and Cebes, the points which we have
 86 Text |          was enclosed in the body?~Cebes said that he had been wonderfully
 87 Text |          us; but what shall I say, Cebes, to her husband Cadmus,
 88 Text |          of propitiating him, said Cebes; I am sure that you have
 89 Text |         suspect to be your notion, Cebes; and I designedly recur
 90 Text |       subtract anything.~But, said Cebes, as far as I see at present,
 91 Text |     raising a tremendous question, Cebes, involving the whole nature
 92 Text |        should very much like, said Cebes, to hear what you have to
 93 Text |        Socrates. When I was young, Cebes, I had a prodigious desire
 94 Text |       reasonable notion?~Yes, said Cebes, I think so.~Well; but let
 95 Text |       notion of such matters? said Cebes.~I should be far enough
 96 Text |  understand me.~No indeed, replied Cebes, not very well.~There is
 97 Text |           immortality of the soul.~Cebes said: You may proceed at
 98 Text |             Indeed, I should, said Cebes, laughing.~In like manner
 99 Text |        most true, said Simmias and Cebes, both speaking at once.~
100 Text |          the change.~That, replied Cebes, is quite my notion.~Hereupon
101 Text |          the same time, turning to Cebes, he said: Are you at all
102 Text |           you at all disconcerted, Cebes, at our friend’s objection?~
103 Text |             I do not feel so, said Cebes; and yet I cannot deny that
104 Text |   remaining three?~Very true, said Cebes.~And yet, he said, the number
105 Text |           all means.~Are they not, Cebes, such as compel the things
106 Text |        brings.~Impossible, replied Cebes.~And now, he said, what
107 Text |        safe and sound?~True.~Then, Cebes, beyond question, the soul
108 Text |          convinced, Socrates, said Cebes, and have nothing more to
109 Text |            comes. You, Simmias and Cebes, and all other men, will
