Socrates

Soc. And the same man may well persuade one person singly, and many together, about things that he knows, just as the schoolmaster, I suppose, persuades either one or many about letters? 5

Alcibiades

Alc. Yes.

Socrates

Soc. And again, will not the same man persuade either one or many about number?

Alcibiades

Alc. Yes.

Socrates

Soc. And this will be the man who knows—the arithmetician?

Alcibiades

Alc. Quite so. 10

Socrates

Soc. And you too can persuade a single man about things of which you can persuade many?

Alcibiades

Alc. Presumably.

Socrates

Soc. And these are clearly things that you know.

Alcibiades

Alc. Yes.

Socrates

Soc. And the only difference between the orator speaking before the people and one who speaks in a conversation like ours is that the former persuades men in a number together of the same things, and the latter persuades them one at a time? 15

Alcibiades

Alc. It looks like it.

Socrates

Soc. Come now, since we see that the same man may persuade either many or one, try your unpracticed hand on me, and endeavor to show that the just is sometimes not expedient.

Alcibiades

Alc. You are insolent, Socrates!

Socrates

Soc. This time, at any rate, I am going to have the insolence to persuade you of the opposite of that which you decline to prove to me.

Alcibiades

Alc. Speak, then. 20

Socrates

Soc. Just answer my questions.

Alcibiades

Alc. No, you yourself must be the speaker.

Socrates

Soc. What? Do you not wish above all things to be persuaded?
