From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every book of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
Thrasymachus scoffs that the shepherd fattens his flock for “himself or his master.” Socrates answers that such a shepherd tends the sheep “like a mere diner,” and that wages belong to a separate “art of pay.” Is Socrates’ shepherd a real one? Number the steps of his reply, and mark the one Thrasymachus should have pressed.
