Plato, Laws
τοῖς μὲν τοίνυν πολλοῖς οὕτω περὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα ἀσυμφώνως τὰ καλὰ καὶ τὰ δίκαια διερριμμένα προσαγορεύεται. φαίνεται γοῦν, ὦ ξένε. τὸ τοίνυν ἡμέτερον, ὦ Κλεινία, πάλιν ἴδωμεν πῶς αὖ περὶ αὐτὰ ταῦτα ἔχει τῆς συμφωνίας. ποίας δὴ πρὸς ποίαν; ἐν τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν λόγοις οἶμαι διαρρήδην ἐμὲ εἰρηκέναι πως, εἰ δʼ οὖν μὴ πρότερον, ἀλλὰ νῦν ὡς λέγοντα τίθετε— τὸ ποῖον;
Thus it is that by the multitude the beautiful and the just are flung apart, and inconsistent language is used about them. It certainly seems so, Stranger. Then let us look again at our own view, and see how far it is consistent in this respect. What kind of consistency, and in respect of what, do you mean? I believe that I expressly stated in our previous discourse,—or, if I did not do it before, please assume that I now assert— What?
