[130a]

Socrates
And the user of it must be the soul?

Alcibiades
It must.

Socrates
And ruler?

Alcibiades
Yes.

Socrates
Now, here is a remark from which no one, I think, can dissent.

Alcibiades
What is it?

Socrates
That man must be one of three things.

Alcibiades
What things?

Socrates
Soul, body, or both together as one whole.

Alcibiades
Very well.

Socrates
But yet we have admitted that what actually rules the body is man?
