[131a]
Theages
Well then, I decide, Socrates, that our plan shall be to make trial of that spiritual sign by associating with each other. Thus, if it leaves us free, that will be best of all; if it does not, it will be time then for us to consider, at the moment, what we shall do—whether we shall associate with someone else, or try to conciliate the divine sign itself that occurs to you with prayers and sacrifices and anything else that the seers may indicate.Demodocus
In view of this, Socrates, say no more in opposition to the lad; for Theages is right in what he says.Socrates
Well, if you consider that this is what we ought to do, let us do it.
