[98b]
Socrates
And indeed I too speak as one who does not know but only conjectures: yet that there is a difference between right opinion and knowledge is not at all a conjecture with me but something I would particularly assert that I knew: there are not many things of which I would say that, but this one, at any rate, I will include among those that I know.Meno
Yes, and you are right, Socrates, in so saying.Socrates

There again, Socrates, I think you speak the truth.
