LYCINUS

These were obviously other peoples opinions on the schools. You wouldnt have simply believed the respective adherents when they praised their own schools.

v.6.p.293
HERMOTIMUS

Certainly not; these were other peoples opinions.

LYCINUS

Not their rivals opinions, I suppose?

HERMOTIMUS

No.

LYCINUS

Laymens opinions?

HERMOTIMUS

Yes.

LYCINUS

You see how once again you are cheating me and not telling the truth. You think you are talking with some Margites [*] who is ready to believe that Hermotimus, an intelligent man forty years of age, on philosophy and philosophers believed the opinions of laymen and made his choice of the better creed accordingly. I refuse to believe you when you say things like that.
