ἀληθές, ἔφη, καὶ τοῦτο λέγεις. ἀλλʼ ἄρα ὅτι τὸ ἱππικὸν οἴει τῇ πόλει βέλτιον ἂν ποιήσας παραδοῦναι καί, εἴ τις χρεία γίγνοιτο ἱππέων, τούτων ἡγούμενος ἀγαθοῦ τινος αἴτιος γενέσθαι τῇ πόλει; καὶ μάλα, ἔφη. καὶ ἔστι γε νὴ Δίʼ, ἔφη ὁ Σωκράτης, καλόν, ἐὰν δύνῃ ταῦτα ποιῆσαι. ἡ δὲ ἀρχή που ἐφʼ ἧς ᾕρησαι ἵππων τε καὶ ἀμβατῶν ἐστιν. ἔστι γὰρ οὖν, ἔφη.
