How we cite our quotes: Stephanus pagination (the standardized way in which every text of Plato is divided). Every edition and translation will have this pagination in the margins.

"But the truth is surely this: that city in which those who are going to rule are least eager to rule is necessarily governed in the way that is best..." (520c)
