Crito

Only, Socrates, said Crito, that the man who is to administer the poison to you has been telling me for some time to warn you to talk as little as possible.

And Socrates glanced at Crito and said, Crito, let somebody take her home.

I was pretty sure that was what you would say, said Crito, but he has been bothering me for a long time.

For when he had discoursed of the immortality of souls, and the time of dying was already pressing, being asked by Crito how he wished to be buried, he said:

Besides all the rest (for this has occurred to me just now), they have come to such a pitch of audacity as to have put in a deposition of Crito, alleging that he has purchased from me my one-third share in the house.

and now on his own sole authority he testifies that he was present with Crito when he bought the house from me.

first Crito here, who is of my own age and my own deme and father of Critobulus, who is also present;

but Plato here, men of Athens, and Crito and Critobulus, and Aristobulus tell me to propose a fine of thirty minas, saying that they are sureties for it.

Do not let Crito persuade you to do what he says, but take our advice.

Or you will keep away from these places and go to Crito’s friends in Thessaly;

But, my dear Crito, why do we care so much for what most people think?
