Abstract

At the end of the Axiochus Socrates vigorously states that the soul is immortal (τοῦτο μόνον ἐμπέδως οἶδα ὅτι ψυχὴ ἅπασα ἀθάνατος· ἡ δὲ ἐκ τοῦδε τοῦ χωρίου μετασταθεῖσα καὶ ἄλυπος). However, this statement is in contrast with Socrates’ previous profession of ignorance in such matters. This contradiction raises the suspicion that the text is corrupted and possibly interpolated by a dogmatic Platonist. For this reason the author attempts the correction τοῦτο μόνον ἐμπέδως οἶδα ὅτι, ψυχὴ ἅπασα ἀθάνατος, [ἡ δὲ] ἐκ τοῦδε τοῦ χωρίου μετασταθεῖσα καὶ ἄλυπος. The XVIth century case of Étienne Dolet is a clear example of the ideological tensions that this dialogue could give rise to
