144 SOC. Yes, I do. He is the son of Euphronius of Sunium, who is a man of just the sort you describe, and of good repute in other respects; moreover he left a very large property. But the youth’s name I do not know.

144 THEO. Theaetetus is his name, Socrates; but I believe the property was squandered by trustees. Nevertheless, Socrates, he is remarkably liberal with his money, too.

144 SOC. It is a noble man that you describe. Now please tell him to come here and sit by us.

144 THEO. I will. Theaetetus, come here to Socrates.

144 SOC. Yes, do so, Theaetetus, that I may look at myself and see what sort of a face I have; for Theodorus says it is like yours. Now if we each had a lyre, and he said we had tuned them to the same key, should we take his word for it without more ado, or should we inquire first whether he who said it was a musician?

144 THEAET. We should inquire.

144 SOC. Then if we found that he was a musician, we should believe him, but if not, we should refuse to take his word?

144 THEAET. Yes.

145 SOC. But now, if we are concerned about the likeness of our faces, we must consider whether he who speaks is a painter, or not.

145 THEAET. I think we must.

145 SOC. Well, is Theodorus a painter?

145 THEAET. Not so far as I know.

145 SOC. Nor a geometrician, either?

145 THEAET. Oh yes, decidedly, Socrates.

145 SOC. And an astronomer, and an arithmetician, and a musician, and in general an educated man?

145 THEAET. I think so.

145 SOC. Well then, if he says, either in praise or blame, that we have some physical resemblance, it is not especially worth while to pay attention to him.

145 THEAET. Perhaps not.

145 SOC. But what if he should praise the soul of one of us for virtue and wisdom? Is it not worth while for the one who hears to examine eagerly the one who is praised, and for that one to exhibit his qualities with eagerness?

145 THEAET. Certainly, Socrates.
