#set quote(block: true)
#quote(attribution: [Plato])[
... ἔοικα γοῦν τούτου γε σμικρῷ τινι αὐτῷ τούτῳ σοφώτερος εἶναι, ὅτι
ἃ μὴ οἶδα οὐδὲ οἴομαι εἰδέναι.
]
#quote(attribution: [from the Henry Cary literal translation of 1897])[
... I seem, then, in just this little thing to be wiser than this man at
any rate, that what I do not know I do not think I know either.
