The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Economist by Xenophon: He paused, then added: Things have indeed now got so far, Socrates,
that several times I have had to stand my trial and have judgment
passed upon me in set terms, what I must pay or what requital I must
make.[26]
[26] See "Symp." v. 8. Al. {dielemmenos} = "to be taken apart and have
. . ."
And at whose bar (I asked) is the sentence given? That point I failed
to catch.[27]
[27] Or, "so dull was I, I failed to catch the point."
Whose but my own wife's? (he answered).
And, pray, how do you conduct your own case? (I asked).[28]
