[283ξ] προσήκοντα περὶ πάντων τῶν τοιούτων ῥηθῆναι.

Νεώτερος Σωκράτης
λέγε μόνον.

Ξένος
πρῶτον τοίνυν ἴδωμεν πᾶσαν τήν τε ὑπερβολὴν καὶ τὴν ἔλλειψιν, ἵνα κατὰ λόγον ἐπαινῶμεν καὶ ψέγωμεν τὰ μακρότερα τοῦ δέοντος ἑκάστοτε λεγόμενα καὶ τἀναντία περὶ τὰς τοιάσδε διατριβάς.

Νεώτερος Σωκράτης
οὐκοῦν χρή.

Ξένος
περὶ δὴ τούτων αὐτῶν ὁ λόγος ἡμῖν οἶμαι γιγνόμενος ὀρθῶς ἂν γίγνοιτο.

Νεώτερος Σωκράτης
τίνων;

Ξένος
μήκους τε πέρι καὶ βραχύτητος καὶ πάσης ὑπεροχῆς
