Socrates
Soc. And of the names applied to such matters, it would be fairest to give the finest names to the finest things, would it not? 15
Protarchus
Pro. That is reasonable.
Socrates
Soc. Are not mind, then, and wisdom the names which we should honor most?
Protarchus
Pro. Yes.
Socrates
Soc. Then these names are applied most accurately and correctly to cases of contemplation of true being.
Protarchus
Pro. Certainly. 20
Socrates
Soc. And these are precisely the names which I brought forward in the first place as parties to our suit.
Protarchus
Pro. Yes, of course they are, Socrates.
Socrates
Soc. Very well. As to the mixture of wisdom and pleasure, if anyone were to say that we are like artisans, with the materials before us from which to create our work, the simile would be a good one.
Protarchus
Pro. Certainly.
Socrates
Soc. And is it, then, our next task to try to make the mixture? 25
Protarchus
Pro. Surely.
Socrates
Soc. Would it not be better first to repeat certain things and recall them to our minds?
Protarchus
Pro. What things?
Socrates
Soc. Those which we mentioned before. I think the proverb we ought to repeat twice and even three times that which is good is an excellent one.
Protarchus
Pro. Surely.
Socrates
Soc. Well then, in God’s name; I think this is the gist of our discussion.
Protarchus
Pro. What is it?
