Theaetetus

THEAET. I think we must.

Socrates

SOC. Well, is Theodorus a painter?

Theaetetus

THEAET. Not so far as I know.

Socrates

SOC. Nor a geometrician, either? 5

Theaetetus

THEAET. Oh yes, decidedly, Socrates.

Socrates

SOC. And an astronomer, and an arithmetician, and a musician, and in general an educated man?

Theaetetus

THEAET. I think so.

Socrates

SOC. Well then, if he says, either in praise or blame, that we have some physical resemblance, it is not especially worth while to pay attention to him.

Theaetetus

THEAET. Perhaps not. 10

Socrates

SOC. But what if he should praise the soul of one of us for virtue and wisdom? Is it not worth while for the one who hears to examine eagerly the one who is praised, and for that one to exhibit his qualities with eagerness?

Theaetetus

THEAET. Certainly, Socrates.

Socrates

SOC. Then, my dear Theaetetus, this is just the time for you to exhibit your qualities and for me to examine them; for I assure you that Theodorus, though he has praised many foreigners and citizens to me, never praised anyone as he praised you just now.

Theaetetus

THEAET. A good idea, Socrates; but make sure that he was not speaking in jest.

Socrates

SOC. That is not Theodorus’s way. But do not seek to draw back from your agreement on the pretext that he is jesting, or he will be forced to testify under oath; for certainly no one will accuse him of perjury. Come, be courageous and hold to the agreement. 15

Theaetetus

THEAET. I suppose I must, if you say so.

Socrates

SOC. Now tell me; I suppose you learn some geometry from Theodorus?

Theaetetus

THEAET. Yes.

Socrates

SOC. And astronomy and harmony and arithmetic?

Theaetetus

THEAET. I try hard to do so. 20
