ΣΩΚΡΑΤΗΣ. Πολτο Κριτο, τασαν γαραπογρει ναυ σοκλιτο κλει ναι τορ ζεδραγρει νο φει ρεντ. Ναι νοι, σε γρειτα ρεν ναυ, σε χεινειτα ρεν ναυ σομβλα. Ποτα ενια χαρεις σηναθα χεστα κονια θακια ναυ νο τεις οι νοι, νερε εν, νοι μεκοκεμο τεν ναιφ πεκτονο, ναυ πολοι κοιτε νοιθακος χηρι πο καρα ναυ ετρεν σισα κεν ναδαναιρος κορε θιαλο κροτα πα εντ ναμει λαυγοσαναυ. The arguments that I spoke in the past I am not able to throw out now that this fortune has come to pass for me. Instead, they appear rather alike to me, and I venerate and honor the same ones I did before. If we have no better argument to say at present, know well that I will certainly not yield to you, not even if the power of the many scares us like children with more hobgoblins than those now present, sending against us imprisonments and executions and confiscations of money.
How then would we consider this with all due measure? By taking up first this assignment you are making about opinions. Was it said noble on each occasion or not, that one should pay mind to some opinions, but not others? Or was it said nobly before I had to die, while now it has become very clear that it was said pointlessly just for the sake of argument, and that in truth it was child's play and drivel? I desire to consider in common with you, Crito, whether the argument appears at all different to me, now that I am in this position, or the same; and whether we shall leave it aside or obey it.
On each occasion, as I suppose, those who supposed that they had something to say somehow used to speak as I was speaking just now: of the opinions which human beings opine, some must be regarded as important, others not. Before the gods, Crito, does this not seem to you to be nobly spoken? For you, humanly speaking, are not about to die tomorrow, and the present calamity wouldn't lead you astray. Consider, then. Doesn't it seem to you adequately spoken, that one should not honor all the opinions of human beings, but some and not others? What do you say? Isn't this nobly spoken? ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
