[191β] καὶ ψευσθῆναι: ἀλλά πῃ δυνατόν.

Θεαίτητος
ἆρα λέγεις ὃ καὶ ἐγὼ τότε ὑπώπτευσα, ἡνίκ᾽ αὐτὸ ἔφαμεν τοιοῦτον εἶναι, ὅτι ἐνίοτ᾽ ἐγὼ γιγνώσκων Σωκράτη, πόρρωθεν δὲ ὁρῶν ἄλλον ὃν οὐ γιγνώσκω, ᾠήθην εἶναι Σωκράτη ὃν οἶδα; γίγνεται γὰρ δὴ ἐν τῷ τοιούτῳ οἷον λέγεις.

Σωκράτης
οὐκοῦν ἀπέστημεν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἃ ἴσμεν ἐποίει ἡμᾶς εἰδότας μὴ εἰδέναι;

Θεαίτητος
πάνυ μὲν οὖν.

Σωκράτης
μὴ γὰρ οὕτω τιθῶμεν, ἀλλ᾽ ὧδε: ἴσως πῃ ἡμῖν
