Socrates: O beloved (philos) Phaedrus, whereto and wherefrom?
Phaedrus: from Lysias, Socrates, son of Cephalus, and i am going for a walk outside the wall; for i spent a long time there, sitting since early morning; persuaded by your fellow and mine, Acumenus, i make my walkabout along the paths; he says they remedy weariness better than the racetracks
Socrates: beautifully said, O fellow; but it seems Lysias was in town
Phaedrus: yes, at Epicrates', the house of Morychus near the Olympian temple
Socrates: so what was the spending? or obviously Lysias was feasting you with speeches?
Phaedrus: you will learn, if you have leisure (schole) to hear as you go
Socrates: what, don’t you think i make it, as Pindar says, “a matter higher even than business” (a-scholias) to hear about your and Lysias' spending?
Phaedrus: then lead
Socrates: and speak
