Glaucon, Cimon, and Democrates went westward to calm their exhilaration with a ball-game at the gymnasium of Cynosarges. On the way Glaucon called attention to a foreigner that passed them. “Look, Democrates, that fellow is wonderfully like the honest barbarian who applauded me at the Isthmus.” Democrates glanced twice.
