İngilizce Yunanca

233 Str. Then what in the world can the magical power of the sophistical art be?

233 Theaet. Magical power in what respect?

233 Str. In the way in which they are able to make young men think that they themselves are in all matters the wisest of men. For it is clear that if they neither disputed correctly nor seemed to the young men to do so, or again if they did seem to dispute rightly but were not considered wiser on that account, nobody, to quote from you, Cf. Plat. Theaet. 232d. would care to pay them money to become their pupil in these subjects.

233 Theaet. Certainly not.

233 Str. But now people do care to do so?

233 Theaet. Very much.

233 Str. Yes, for they are supposed, I fancy, to have knowledge themselves of the things about which they dispute.

233 Theaet. Of course.

233 Str. And they do that about all things, do they not?

233 Theaet. Yes.

233 Str. Then they appear to their pupils to be wise in all things.

233 Theaet. To be sure.

233 Str. Though they are not; for that was shown to be impossible.

233 Theaet. Of course it is impossible.

233 Str. Then it is a sort of knowledge based upon mere opinion that the sophist has been shown to possess about all things, not true knowledge.

233 Theaet. Certainly; and I shouldn’t be surprised if that were the most accurate statement we have made about him so far.

233 Str. Let us then take a clearer example to explain this.

233 Theaet. What sort of an example?

233 Str. This one; and try to pay attention and to give a very careful answer to my question.

233 Theaet. What is the question?

233 Str. If anyone should say that by virtue of a single art he knew how, not to assert or dispute, but to do and make all things—

233 Theaet. What do you mean by all things?

233 Str. You fail to grasp the very beginning of what I said; for apparently you do not understand the word all.

233 Theaet. No, I do not.

233 Str. I mean you and me among the all, and the other animals besides, and the trees.

233 Theaet. What do you mean?

233 Str. If one should say that he would make you and me and all other created beings.
