Θεαίτητος Plato

142–143

Terpsion
TERP. And he was right, apparently. But what was the talk? Could you relate it?
Eucleides
EU. No, by Zeus, at least not offhand. But I made notes at the time as soon as I reached home, then afterwards at my leisure, as I recalled things, I wrote them down, and whenever I went to Athens I used to ask Socrates about what I could not remember, and then I came here and made corrections; so that I have pretty much the whole talk written down.
Terpsion
TERP. That is true. I heard you say so before; and really I have been waiting about here all along intending to ask you to show it to me. What hinders us from reading it now? Certainly I need to rest, since I have come from the country.
Eucleides
EU. And I myself went with Theaetetus as far as Erineum, Erineum was between Eleusis and Athens, near the Cephissus. Apparently Eucleides had walked some thirty miles. so I also should not be sorry to take a rest. Come, let us go, and while we are resting, the boy shall read to us.
Terpsion
TERP. Very well.
