Soc.

From the agora, Menexenus, or where from?

Men.

From the agora, Socrates, and the Council Chamber.

Soc.

And what was it took you specially to the Council Chamber? But of course it was because you deem yourself to be at the end of your education and philosophic studies, and being sufficiently versed, as you think, in these, you are minded to turn to graver matters; and you at your age, my marvellous youth, are attempting to govern us older men, lest your house

234b
should ever fail in providing us with a succession of managers.

Men.

Certainly if you, Socrates, allow and counsel me to govern, I shall do so gladly; but otherwise not. This time, however, I went to the Council Chamber because I had learnt that the Council was going to select someone to make an oration over the dead; for you know that they propose to arrange for funeral rites.

Soc.

Yes, I do. And whom did they select?

Men.

Nobody: they postponed it till tomorrow. I fancy, however, that Archinus will be selected, or Dion.
