ἢ πρὶν μὲν ἐμὲ δεῖν ἀποθνῄσκειν καλῶς ἐλέγετο , νῦν δὲ κατάδηλος ἄρα ἐγένετο ὅτι ἄλλως ἕνεκα λόγου ἐλέγετο , ἦν δὲ παιδιὰ καὶ φλυαρία ὡς ἀληθῶς ; ἐπιθυμῶ δ᾽ ἔγωγ᾽ ἐπισκέψασθαι , ὦ Κρίτων , κοινῇ μετὰ σοῦ εἴ τί μοι ἀλλοιότερος φανεῖται , ἐπειδὴ ὧδε ἔχω , ἢ ὁ αὐτός , καὶ ἐάσομεν χαίρειν ἢ πεισόμεθα αὐτῷ . ἐλέγετο δέ πως , ὡς ἐγᾦμαι , ἑκάστοτε ὧδε ὑπὸ τῶν οἰομένων τὶ λέγειν , ὥσπερ νυνδὴ ἐγὼ ἔλεγον , ὅτι τῶν δοξῶν ἃς οἱ ἄνθρωποι δοξάζουσιν δέοι τὰς μὲν περὶ πολλοῦ ποιεῖσθαι , τὰς δὲ μή .
Or
were
we
right
before
I
was
condemned
to
death
,
whereas
it
has
now
been
made
clear
that
we
were
talking
merely
for
the
sake
of
argument
and
it
was
really
mere
play
and
nonsense
?
And
I
wish
to
investigate
,
Crito
,
in
common
with
you
,
and
see
whether
our
former
argument
seems
different
to
me
under
our
present
conditions
,
or
the
same
,
and
whether
we
shall
give
it
up
or
be
guided
by
it
.
But
it
used
to
be
said
,
I
think
,
by
those
who
thought
they
were
speaking
sensibly
,
just
as
I
was
saying
now
,
that
of
the
opinions
held
by
men
some
ought
to
be
highly
esteemed
and
others
not
.
