τίνες δέ εἰσιν οὗτοι οἱ περὶ δέ; Χαρμίδης, ὦ Μένιππε, καὶ Φαῖδρος καὶ ὁ τοῦ Κλεινίου. εὖ γε, ὦ Σώκρατες, ὅτι κἀνταῦθα μέτει τὴν σαυτοῦ τέχνην καὶ οὐκ ὀλιγωρεῖς τῶν καλῶν. τί γὰρ ἂν ἄλλο ἥδιον πράττοιμι; ἀλλὰ πλησίον ἡμῶν κατάκεισο, εἰ δοκεῖ. μὰ Δίʼ, ἐπεὶ παρὰ τὸν Κροῖσον καὶ τὸν Σαρδανάπαλλον ἄπειμι πλησίον οἰκήσων αὐτῶν· ἔοικα γοῦν οὐκ ὀλίγα γελάσεσθαι οἰμωζόντων ἀκούων. κἀγὼ ἤδη ἄπειμι, μὴ καί τις ἡμᾶς νεκρῶν λάθῃ διαφυγών. τὰ λοιπὰ δʼ ἐσαῦθις ὄψει, ὦ Μένιππε. ἄπιθι· καὶ ταυτὶ γὰρ ἱκανά, ὦ Αἰακέ.
