Alcibiades

Alc. Yes.

Socrates

Soc. Then is it I, the questioner, or you the answerer, that are found to be speaking about these things?

Alcibiades

Alc. I.

Socrates

Soc. And what if I ask what are the letters in Socrates, and you tell me? Which will be the speaker?

Alcibiades

Alc. I.

Socrates

Soc. Come then, tell me, as a principle, when we have question and answer, which is the speaker—the questioner, or the answerer? 5

Alcibiades

Alc. The answerer, I should say, Socrates.

Socrates

Soc. And throughout the argument so far, I was the questioner?

Alcibiades

Alc. Yes.

Socrates

Soc. And you the answerer?

Alcibiades

Alc. Quite so. 10

Socrates

Soc. Well then, which of us has spoken what has been said?

Alcibiades

Alc. Apparently, Socrates, from what we have admitted, it was I.

Socrates

Soc. And it was said that Alcibiades, the fair son of Cleinias, did not know about just and unjust, but thought he did, and intended to go to the Assembly as adviser to the Athenians on what he knows nothing about; is not that so?

Alcibiades

Alc. Apparently.

Socrates

Soc. Then, to quote Euripides, Eur. Hipp. 352—σοῦ τάδ’, οὐκ ἐμοῦ κλύεις. the result is, Alcibiades, that you may be said to have heard it from yourself, not me,Eur. Hipp. 352 and it is not I who say it, but you, and you tax me with it in vain. And indeed what you say is quite true. For it is a mad scheme this, that you meditate, my excellent friend—of teaching things that you do not know, since you have taken no care to learn them. 15
