[259β]

Ξένος
ἀλλὰ μὴν ἥ γε ἀληθινοῦ βασιλέως βασιλική;

Νεώτερος Σωκράτης
ναί.

Ξένος
ταύτην δὲ ὁ κεκτημένος οὐκ, ἄντε ἄρχων ἄντε ἰδιώτης ὢν τυγχάνῃ, πάντως κατά γε τὴν τέχνην αὐτὴν βασιλικὸς ὀρθῶς προσρηθήσεται;

Νεώτερος Σωκράτης
δίκαιον γοῦν.

Ξένος
καὶ μὴν οἰκονόμος γε καὶ δεσπότης ταὐτόν.

Νεώτερος Σωκράτης
τί μήν;

Ξένος
τί δέ; μεγάλης σχῆμα οἰκήσεως ἢ σμικρᾶς αὖ πόλεως ὄγκος μῶν τι πρὸς ἀρχὴν διοίσετον;

Νεώτερος Σωκράτης
οὐδέν.
