[113b]

Socrates
And throughout the argument so far, I was the questioner?

Alcibiades
Yes.

Socrates
And you the answerer?

Alcibiades
Quite so.

Socrates
Well then, which of us has spoken what has been said?

Alcibiades
Apparently, Socrates, from what we have admitted, it was I.

Socrates
And it was said that Alcibiades, the fair son of Cleinias, did not know about just and unjust, but thought he did, and intended to go to the Assembly as adviser to the Athenians on what he knows nothing about; is not that so?
