(δ) Καὶ ἐν τούτῳ ὁ Μενέξενος πάλιν ἧκε, καὶ ἐκαθέζετο παρὰ τὸν
Λύσιν, ὅθεν καὶ ἐξανέστη. ὁ οὖν Λύσις μάλα παιδικῶς καὶ
φιλικῶς, λάθρα του Μενεξένου, σμικρὸν πρός με λέγων ἔφη,
Ω Σώκρατες, ἅπερ καὶ ἐμοὶ λέγεις, εἰπὲ καὶ Μενεξένῳ. Καὶ
ἐγὼ εἶπον, Ταῦτα μὲν σὺ αὐτῷ ἐρεῖς, ὦ Λύσι πάντως γάρ
προσεῖχος τὸν νοῦν, Πάνυ μὲν οὖν, ἔφη. Πειρῶ τοίνυν, ἦν
δ ̓ ἐγώ, ἀπομνημονεῦσαι αὐτὰ ὅ τι μάλιστα, ἵνα τούτῳ σαφῶς
πάντ ̓ εἴπῃς ἐὰν δέ τι αὐτῶν ἐπιλάθῃ, αὖθις με ανερέσθαι,
ὅταν ἐντύχῃς πρῶτον. ̓Αλλὰ ποιήσω, ἔφη, ταῦτα, ὦ Σώκρατες,
πάνυ σφόδρα, εὖ ἴσθι. ἀλλά τι ἄλλο αὐτῷ λέγε, ἵνα καὶ ἐγὼ
ἀκούω, ἕως ἂν οἴκαδε ὥρα ἢ ἀπιέναι. ̓Αλλὰ χρὴ ποιεῖν ταῦτα,
ἦν δ' ἐγώ, ἐπειδή γε καὶ σὺ κελεύεις, ἀλλ ̓ ὄρα, ὅπως ἐπικουρή

καὶ βούλομαι σὲ αὐτῷ διαλέγεσθαι. Ἵνα, ἦν δ ̓ ἐγώ, καταγές
λαστος γένωμαι; Οὐ μὰ Δία, ἔφη, ἀλλ ̓ ἵν ̓ αὐτὸν κολάσῃς.

Thus Cyrus learned that Croesus was a good man and dear to the gods: and, causing him to descend from the pyre, he questioned him thus:-"Croesus, who of men persuaded you to invade my land and make me your enemy instead of your friend?" And he replied, "O King, I acted thus for thy happiness indeed, but for my own misery: and the cause thereof was the god of the Greeks, who roused me to the invasion. For no one is so foolish as to choose war before peace for in this, children bury their fathers, but in that, fathers their children. But as for my fate, perchance it was God's will, that it should befall."

(α) Εδόκει τις μοι γυνὴ προσελθοῦσα καλὴ καὶ εὐειδὴς λευκὰ ἱμάτια ἔχουσα καλέσαι με καὶ εἰπεῖν· ὦ Σώκρατες,

ἤματί κεν τριτάτη Φθίην ἐρίβωλον ἵκοιο.

(δ) απιόντες ἐνθέντε ἡμεῖς μὴ πείσαντες τὴν πόλιν πότερον κακῶς

οἷς ὡμολογήσαμεν δικαίοις οὖσιν ἢ οὔ;

(ε) οὐδὲ χρήματα μὲν λαμβάνων διαλέγομαι, μὴ λαμβάνων δὲ
οὔ, ἀλλ ̓ ὁμοίως καὶ πλουσίῳ καὶ πένητι παρέχω ἐμαυτὸν ἐρω-

(α) καὶ ἐγὼ τὸν Εύηνον ἐμακάρισα, εἰ ὡς ἀληθῶς ἔχει ταύτην τὴν
τέχνην καὶ οὕτως ἐμμελῶς διδάσκει, ἐγὼ οὖν καὶ αὐτὸν ἐκαλ-

(6) ὡς δ ̓ ὅτε τις καλὸν σποδιῇ ἐνέκρυψε μελιτίνῃ
ἀγροῦ ἐπ' ἐσχατς, ᾧ μὴ πάρα γείτονες ἄλλοι,

ὡς Ὀδυσεὺς φύλλοισι καλύψατο

(ε) οὐ μὲν γὰρ τοῦ γε κρεῖσσον καὶ ἄρειον,

5. If a, ẞ are the roots of the quadratic equation ax2—bx+c=0, express a+ß, aß in terms of a, b, c.

Hence or otherwise shew the sum of the squares of the roots of the equation 9.2+27x+20=0 is equal to the sum of the squares of the roots of 9.2+33x+40=0.

8. Find the sum to n terms of a series in geometrical progression.

The first term of a G.P. is 2, the second term is 2-√2; find the sum of the series to infinity.
