[125b]

Socrates
So he is bad in that?

Alcibiades
Yes.

Socrates
Then, on this showing, the same man is both bad and good.

Alcibiades
Apparently.

Socrates
Well, can you say that good men are also bad?

Alcibiades
No, indeed.

Socrates
But whoever do you mean by the good?

Alcibiades
I mean those who are able to rule in the city.

Socrates
Not, I presume, over horses?

Alcibiades
No, no.

Socrates
But over men?

Alcibiades
Yes.

Socrates
When they are sick?

Alcibiades
No.

Socrates
Or at sea?

Alcibiades
I say, no.

Socrates
Or harvesting?

Alcibiades
No.
