"Socrates: In less than no time you shall hear; for I cannot say that I did not attend--I paid great attention to them and I remember and will endeavour to repeat the whole story. Providentially I was sitting alone in the dressing-room of the Lyceum where you saw me and was about to depart; when I was getting up I recognized the familiar divine sign: so I sat down again and in a little while the two brothers Euthydemus and Dionysodorus came in and several others with them whom I believe to be their disciples and they walked about in the covered court; they had not taken more than two or three turns when Cleinias entered who as you truly say is very much improved: he was followed by a host of lovers one of whom was Ctesippus the Paeanian a well-bred youth but also having the wildness of youth. Cleinias saw me from the entrance as I was sitting alone and at once came and sat down on the right hand of me as you describe; and Dionysodorus and Euthydemus when they saw him at first stopped and talked with one another now and then glancing at us for I particularly watched them; and then Euthydemus came and sat down by the youth and the other by me on the left hand; the rest anywhere."
