Younger Socrates

Y. Soc. That statement appears to be true to the facts, and we must do as you say.

Stranger

Str. Then those who participate in all those governments with the exception of the scientific one—are to be eliminated as not being statesmen, but partisans and since they preside over the greatest counterfeits, they are themselves counterfeits, and since they are the greatest of imitators and cheats, they are the greatest of all sophists.

Younger Socrates

Y. Soc. This term sophist seems to have come round quite rightly to the so-called statesmen. 5

Stranger

Str. Well, this part has been exactly like a play. Just as we remarked a moment ago, 291 A. a festive troop of centaurs or satyrs was coming into view, which we had to separate from the art of statesmanship; and now we have succeeded in doing this, though it has been very difficult.

Younger Socrates

Y. Soc. So it seems.

Stranger

Str. But another group remains, which is still more difficult to separate, because it is more closely akin to the kingly class and is also harder to recognize. I think we are in somewhat the same position as refiners of gold.

Younger Socrates

Y. Soc. How so?
