The opening
Ceph. When we came from our home at Clazomenae to Athens, we met Adeimantus and Glaucon in the market-place. Adeimantus took me by the hand and said,
Welcome, Cephalus if there is anything we can do for you here, let us know.
Why, said I, that is just why I am here, to ask a favour of you.
Tell us, said he, what it is.
