[53ε] κατὰ πάνθ᾽ ὅσα λέγομεν εἶναι.

Πρώταρχος
τὸ τρίτον ἔτ᾽ ἐρῶ; λέγε σαφέστερον, ὦ Σώκρατες, ὅτι λέγεις.

Σωκράτης
οὐδέν τι ποικίλον, ὦ Πρώταρχε: ἀλλ᾽ ὁ λόγος ἐρεσχηλεῖ νῷν, λέγει δ᾽ ὅτι τὸ μὲν ἕνεκά του τῶν ὄντων ἔστ᾽ ἀεί, τὸ δ᾽ οὗ χάριν ἑκάστοτε τὸ τινὸς ἕνεκα γιγνόμενον ἀεὶ γίγνεται.

Πρώταρχος
μόγις ἔμαθον διὰ τὸ πολλάκις λεχθῆναι.

Σωκράτης
τάχα δ᾽ ἴσως, ὦ παῖ, μᾶλλον μαθησόμεθα προελθόντος
