That Which Cannot Be Simpler

Socrates
I want to hear from him what is the nature of his art, and what it is which he professes and teaches; he may, as you suggest, defer the exhibition to some other time.

Callicles
There is nothing like asking him, Socrates; and indeed to answer questions is a part of his exhibition, for he was saying only just now, that any one in my house might put any question to him, and that he would answer.

Socrates
How fortunate! Will you ask him, Chaerephon?

Chaerephon
What shall I ask him?

Socrates
Ask him who he is.
