(2) παραιτουμένου δέ μου καί τι τοιοῦτον εἰπόντος, ὡς οὐκ ἂν ἑκών ποτε ἔργῳ ἐπιγραφείην ἀδίκῳ, παρὼν ὁ Χαρικλῆς καὶ ἰδίᾳ ἀγανακτήσας ἦπου οὐδέν, ὦ Σώκρατες, ἔφη ἡγῇ κακὸν δύνασθαι παθεῖν οὕτως αὐθαδῶς διαλεγόμενος; κἀγώ μυρία μὲν οὖν, νὴ Δί’ εἶπον, ὦ Χαρίκλεις, οὐ μέντοι τοσοῦτόν γε οὐδέν, ὁπηλίκον εἰ ἀδικήσω. ἀπεκρίνατο μὲν οὖν οὐκέτι οὐδὲ εἷς αὐτῶν, δοκοῦσι δέ μοι οὐχ ὁμοίως ἐξ ἐκείνου τοῦ χρόνου διακεῖσθαι.
