     I should not at all mind ��he answered���察�if I were not afraid he might 

turn again and rend his keeper。 

     What�   。�rejoined   Socrates���察  �do   you   not   see   that   to   gratify   a   man   like 

yourself is far pleasanter as a matter of self´interest than to quarrel with 

you�拭�You may be sure there are plenty of people here who will take the 

greatest pride in making you their friend。 

     Accordingly�察�they  sought   out Archedemus�撮�2�А �a   practical man   with a 

clever tongue in his head��3�А�but poor�察�the fact being�察�he was not the sort to

make gain by hook or by crook�察�but a lover of honesty and of too good a 

nature himself to make his living as a pettifogger。��4�А�Crito would then take 

the   opportunity   of   times   of   harvesting   and   put   aside   small   presents   for 

Achedemus   of   corn   and   oil�察  �or   wine�察  �or   wool�察  �or   any   other   of   the   farm 

produce forming the staple commodities of life�察�or he would invite him to 

a sacrificial feast�察�and otherwise pay him marked attention。 Archedemus�察�

feeling that he had in Crito's house a harbour of refuge�察�could not make 

too   much   of   his   patron�察  �and   ere   long   he   had   hunted   up   a   long   list   of 

iniquities   which   could be   lodged   against   Crito's   pettifogging   persecutors 

themselves�察     �and    not  only    their  numerous      crimes    but   their   numerous 

enemies�察�and presently he prosecuted one of them in a public suit�察�where 

sentence would be given against him ;what to suffer or what to pay。;��5�А�

The accused�察�conscious as he was of many rascally deeds�察�did all he could 

to be quit of Archedemus�察�but Archedemus was not to be got rid of。 He 

held on until he had made the informer not only loose his hold of Crito but 

pay himself a sum of money�察�and now that Archedemus had achieved this 

and other similar victories�察�it is easy to guess what followed。��6�А�It was just 

as when some shepherd has got a very good dog�察�all the other shepherds 

wish to lodge their flocks in his neighbourhood that they too may reap the 

benefit of him。 So a number of Crito's friends came begging him to allow 

Archedemus to be their guardian also�察�and Archedemus was overjoyed to 

do   something   to   gratify   Crito�察  �and   so   it   came   about   that   not   only   Crito 

abode in peace�察�but his friends likewise。 If any of those people with whom 

Archedemus was not on the best of terms were disposed to throw it in his 

teeth that he accepted his patron's benefits and paid in flatteries�察�he had a 

ready retort�此 �Answer me this questionwhich is the more scandalous�察�to 

accept kindnesses from honest folk and to repay them�察�with the result that 

I   make    such   people    my    friends   but  quarrel    with   knaves�察   �or  to  make 

enemies of honourable gentlemen��7�А�by attempts to do them wrong�察�with 

the off´chance indeed of winning the friendship of some scamps in return 

for    my   co´operation�察     �but  the   certainty    of  losing   in   the  tone   of   my 

acquaintances�拭┌�8�А�

Crito's   right   hand�撮�9�А  �and   by   the   rest   of   Crito's   friends   he   was   held   in

     Again I may cite�察�as known to myself�撮�1�А�the following discussion�察�the 

arguments      were    addressed     to  Diodorus�察   �one    of  his  companions。      The 

master said�此�

     ��1�А�Or�察 �for which I can personally vouch。; 

     Tell me�察�Diodorus�察�if one of your slaves runs away�察�are you at pains to 

recover him�拭�

     More than that ��Diodorus answered���察�I summon others to my aid and I 

have a reward cried for his recovery。 

     Soc。 Well�察�if one of your domestics is sick�察�do you tend him and call in 

the doctors to save his life�拭�

     Diod。 Decidedly I do。

     Soc。 And if an intimate acquaintance who is far more precious to you 

than any of your household slaves is about to perish of want�察�you would 

think it incumbent on you   to take pains to save his life�拭�Well� �now  you 

know without my telling you that Hermogenes��2�А�is not made of wood or 

stone。 If you helped him he would be ashamed not to pay you in kind。 And 

yetthe   opportunity   of   possessing   a   willing�察  �kindly�察  �and   trusty   assistant 

well    fitted   to  do   your   bidding�察   �and   not   merely    that�察 �but   capable    of 

originating      useful   ideas   himself�察  �with    a  certain   forecast   of  mind    and 

judgmentI say such a man is worth dozens of slaves。 Good economists 

tell us that when a precious article may be got at a low price we ought to 

buy。   And   nowadays   when   times   are   so   bad   it   is   possible   to   get   good 

friends exceedingly cheap。 

     ��2�А�Hermogenes�察�presumably the son of Hipponicus。 See I。 ii。 48。 

     Diodorus   answered�此  �You   are   quite   right�察  �Socrates�察  �bid   Hermogenes 

come to me。 

     Soc。 Bid Hermogenes come to you��not I indeed� �since for aught I can 

understand   you   are   no   better   entitled   to   summon   him   that   to   go   to   him 

yourself�察�nor is the advantage more on his side than your own。 

     Thus Diodorus went off in a trice to seek Hermogenes�察�and at no great 

outlay won to himself a frienda friend whose one concern it now was to 

discover how�察�by word or deed�察�he might help and gladden Diodorus。
