Protagoras replied: Socrates, I am not of a base nature, and I am the last
man in the world to be envious. I cannot but applaud your energy and your
conduct of an argument. As I have often said, I admire you above all men
whom I know, and far above all men of your age; and I believe that you will
become very eminent in philosophy. Let us come back to the subject at some
future time; at present we had better turn to something else.
By all means, I said, if that is your wish; for I too ought long since to
have kept the engagement of which I spoke before, and only tarried because
I could not refuse the request of the noble Callias. So the conversation
ended, and we went our way.
