[230α]

Ἑταῖρος
μηδὲ τοῦτο.

Σωκράτης
ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἐναντίον ὂν τῷ κακῷ οὐκ ἀγαθόν ἐστι τὸ κερδαίνειν;

Ἑταῖρος
οὔτι πᾶν γε: τουτί μοι ἀνάθου.

Σωκράτης
δοκεῖ ἄρα σοι, ὡς ἔοικε, τοῦ κέρδους τὸ μέν τι ἀγαθὸν εἶναι, τὸ δέ τι κακόν.

Ἑταῖρος
ἔμοιγε.

Σωκράτης
ἀνατίθεμαι τοίνυν σοὶ τοῦτο: ἔστω γὰρ δὴ κέρδος τι ἀγαθὸν καὶ ἕτερον κέρδος τι κακόν. κέρδος δέ γε οὐδὲν μᾶλλόν ἐστιν αὐτῶν τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἢ τὸ κακόν: ἦ γάρ;

Ἑταῖρος
πῶς με ἐρωτᾷς;

Σωκράτης
ἐγὼ φράσω. σιτίον ἐστίν τι ἀγαθόν τε καὶ κακόν;
