Platonists

Platonists first!

Pythagoreans

No, no; Pythagoreans first; our master is senior.

Stoics

Rubbish! the Porch is the best.

Peripatetics

Now, now, this is a question of money; Peripatetics first there!

Epicureans

Hand over those cakes and fig-squares; as to the money, Epicureans will not mind waiting till the last.

Academics

Where are the two talents? none can touch the Academy at a wrangle; we will soon show you that.

Stoics

Not if we know it.

Philosophy

Cease your strife. Cynics there, no more pushing! and keep those sticks quiet. You have mistaken the nature of this summons. We three, Philosophy, Virtue, and Truth, are about to decide which are the true philosophers; that done, those whose lives are found to be in accord with our pleasure will be made happy by our award; but the impostors who are not truly of our kin we shall crush as they deserve, that they may no more make vain claims to what is too high for them.

v.1.p.226
Ha! you fly? In good truth they do, jumping down the crags, most of them. Why, the Acropolis is deserted, except foryes, a few have stood their ground and are not afraid of the judgement.
