Well, Socrates ,
 if the Great King does this, it seems to me that he
 pays as much attention to husbandry as to warfare. Yet further, continued
 Socrates ,
 in all the districts he resides in and visits he
 takes care that there are paradises, as they call
 them, full of all the good and beautiful things that
 the soil will produce, and in this he himself spends
 most of his time, except when the season precludes
 it.
