20 Text |     disciples of Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, followed his example. And
21 Text |        I said: O Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, I earnestly request you
22 Text |       Certainly, Socrates, said Dionysodorus; our art will do both.~And
23 Text |       And you and your brother, Dionysodorus, I said, of all men who
24 Text |      Whichever he answers, said Dionysodorus, leaning forward so as to

27 Text |    hardly out of his mouth when Dionysodorus took up the argument, like
28 Text |         And now, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, I think that we have had
29 Text |   hearing this; and I turned to Dionysodorus and Euthydemus and said:
30 Text |     practise wisdom and virtue. Dionysodorus, who was the elder, spoke
31 Text |       were in profound earnest. Dionysodorus said:~Reflect, Socrates;
32 Text |        the truth. And therefore Dionysodorus, if he says that which is,
33 Text |      says what is false; but if Dionysodorus says anything, he says what
34 Text |       are.~Why, Ctesippus, said Dionysodorus, do you mean to say that
35 Text |        abusive, Ctesippus, said Dionysodorus, you are abusive!~Indeed,
36 Text |      abusive!~Indeed, I am not, Dionysodorus, he replied; for I love
37 Text |        I offer my old person to Dionysodorus; he may put me into the
38 Text |    piece of virtue. And here is Dionysodorus fancying that I am angry
39 Text |    contradiction, O illustrious Dionysodorus; for they are quite different
40 Text |     things.~Contradiction! said Dionysodorus; why, there never was such
41 Text |       question of that. Do you, Dionysodorus, maintain that there is
42 Text |       may hear me contradicting Dionysodorus.~Are you prepared to make
43 Text |    contradict one another, said Dionysodorus, when both of us are describing
44 Text |         said: What do you mean, Dionysodorus? I have often heard, and
45 Text |       saying this as a paradox, Dionysodorus; or do you seriously maintain
46 Text |     just now to refute me, said Dionysodorus; for how can I tell you
47 Text |        fool, Socrates, rejoined Dionysodorus, that you bring up now what
48 Text |         what do you mean by it, Dionysodorus? You must mean that I cannot
49 Text |       answer.~What, before you, Dionysodorus? I said.~Answer, said he.~

53 Text |   Certainly not, Socrates, said Dionysodorus.~What do you mean, I said;
54 Text |      know one thing.~O heavens, Dionysodorus, I said, I see now that

72 Text |       you Dionysodorus, because Dionysodorus is present with you?~God
