23Let this always be plain to thee, that this piece of land is like any other; and that all things here are the same with things on the top of a mountain, or on the sea-shore, or wherever thou choosest to be. For thou wilt find just what Plato says, Making the walls of the city like a shepherd’s fold on a mountain. [The three last words are omitted. They are unintelligible.]60Plato, Theaet. 174 D.E.
