Socrates

Soc. Quite right. And now, for what is the good counsel of which you speak?

Alcibiades

Alc. For the better management and preservation of the city.

Socrates

Soc. And what is it that becomes present or absent when we get this better management and preservation? If, for example, you should ask me, What is it that becomes present or absent when the body is better managed and preserved?—I should reply, Health becomes present, and disease absent. Do not you think so too?

Alcibiades

Alc. Yes. 5

Socrates

Soc. And if, again, you asked me, What becomes present in a better condition of the eyes?—I should answer in just the same way, Sight becomes present, and blindness absent. So, in the case of the ears, deafness is caused to be absent, and hearing to be present, when they are improved and getting better treatment.

Alcibiades

Alc. Correct.

Socrates

Soc. Well then, what is it that becomes present or absent when a state is improved and has better treatment and management?

Alcibiades

Alc. To my mind, Socrates, friendship with one another will be there, while hatred and faction will be absent.

Socrates

Soc. Now, by friendship do you mean agreement or disagreement? 10

Alcibiades

Alc. Agreement.

Socrates

Soc. And what art is it that causes states to agree about numbers?
