Εἰ δὲ βούλει, τὸν μὲν Σωκράτην ἐῶ· τὸν δὲ Ἀθηναῖον παρακαλῶμεν ξένον ἀποκρίνασθαι ἡμῖν· καὶ γὰρ αὖ καὶ τούτου ἀκούω ἐν || Κρήτῃ διαλεγομένου ἀγχοῦ τοῦ Διὸς τοῦ Δικταίου τῷ ἄντρῳ Μεγίλλῳ τῷ Λακεδαιμονίῳ, καὶ Κλεινίᾳ τῷ Κνωσίῳ, πόλει Δωρικῇ οἰκιζομένῃ τιθέντος νόμους, ἵνα πείθωνται τὸ Κρητῶν γένος μουσικὴν εἰς τὰ τῆς ἀνδρείας ἐπιτηδεύματα εἰσοικίσαι, καὶ ἡμερῶσαι τὸν θυμὸν τῷ μέλει, ἵνα μὴ κολοβὸς αὐτοῖς ἡ ἀρετὴ μηδὲ ἀτελὴς γίγνηται·
