Socrates - POLEMARCHUS
Tell me then, O thou heir of the argument, what did Simonides
say, and according to you truly say, about justice?
He said that the repayment of a debt is just, and in saying
so he appears to me to be right.
I should be sorry to doubt the word of such a wise and
inspired man, but his meaning, though probably clear to you,
is the reverse of clear to me. For he certainly does not
mean, as we were now saying that I ought to return a return a
deposit of arms or of anything else to one who asks for it
when he is not in his right senses; and yet a deposit cannot
be denied to be a debt.
True.
Then when the person who asks me is not in his right mind I
am by no means to make the return?
Certainly not.
When Simonides said that the repayment of a debt was justice,
he did not mean to include that case?
