But how if you choose one superior to ourselves ? In very truth I believe it impossible for you to choose a man wiser than Protagoras here, and if he whom you choose is not really superior to him, but only de- clared by you to be so, you are insulting him by making choice of an umpire as for some inferior man ; although so far as I am concerned, it would make no difference to me at all. But this is what I should like to do, in order that we may go on with the conversation and the discussion whi...ch you desire to hear. If Protagoras is not willing to answer he may question, and I will answer and will try in so doing to show him how I think a person ought to answer when PROTAGORAS. 47 questioned ; and let him pledge his word that after I have answered all he wishes to ask, he will do the same by me. And if he does not seem disposed to make his answers to the point, you and I will together entreat him, as you have just entreated me, not to break up our conver- sation. And for this no special umpire is needed; you shall all be umpires together.
