Κέφαλος
ἐπειδὴ Ἀθήναζε οἴκοθεν ἐκ Κλαζομενῶν ἀφικόμεθα , κατ᾽ ἀγορὰν ἐνετύχομεν Ἀδειμάντῳ τε καὶ Γλαύκωνι : καί μου λαβόμενος τῆς χειρὸς ὁ Ἀδείμαντος , Χαῖρ᾽ , ἔφη , ὦ Κέφαλε , καὶ εἴ του δέῃ τῶν τῇδε ὧν ἡμεῖς δυνατοί , φράζε .
ἀλλὰ μὲν δή , εἶπον ἐγώ , πάρειμί γε ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸ τοῦτο , δεησόμενος ὑμῶν .
λέγοις ἄν , ἔφη , τὴν δέησιν .
καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπον : τῷ ἀδελφῷ ὑμῶν τῷ ὁμομητρίῳ τί ἦν ὄνομα ; οὐ γὰρ μέμνημαι . παῖς δέ που ἦν , ὅτε τὸ πρότερον ἐπεδήμησα δεῦρο ἐκ Κλαζομενῶν : πολὺς δὲ ἤδη χρόνος ἐξ ἐκείνου . τῷ μὲν γὰρ πατρί , δοκῶ , Πυριλάμπης ὄνομα .
πάνυ γε , ἔφη .
αὐτῷ δέ γε ;
Ἀντιφῶν . ἀλλὰ τί μάλιστα πυνθάνῃ ;
οἵδε , εἶπον ἐγώ , πολῖταί τ᾽ ἐμοί εἰσι , μάλα φιλόσοφοι , ἀκηκόασί τε ὅτι οὗτος ὁ Ἀντιφῶν Πυθοδώρῳ τινὶ Ζήνωνος

Cephalus
When we came from our home at Clazomenae to Athens , we met Adeimantus and Glaucon in the market-place . Adeimantus took me by the hand and said , " Welcome , Cephalus if there is anything we can do for you here , let us know . "
" Why , " said I , " that is just why I am here , to ask a favour of you . "
" Tell us , " said he , " what it is . "
And I said , " What was your half-brother ' s name ? I don ' t remember . He was only a boy when I came here from Clazomenae before and that is now a long time ago . His father ' s name , I believe , was Pyrilampes . "
" Yes , " said he .
" And what is his own name ? "
" Antiphon . Why do you ask ? "
" These gentlemen , " I said , " are fellow-citizens of mine , who are very fond of philosophy . They have heard that this Antiphon had a good deal to do with a friend of Zeno ' s named Pythodorus , that Pythodorus often repeated to him the conversation
