Protagora, qui sophista fuit longe multiscius et cum primis rhetoricae repertoribus perfacundus, Democriti physici civis aequaevus'inde ei suppeditata doctrina est', eum Protagoran aiunt cum suo sibi discipulo Evathlo mercedem nimis uberem condicione temeraria pepigisse, uti sibi tum demum id argenti daret, si primo tirocinio agendi penes iudices vicisset.
Protagoras was a sophist of encyclopedic knowledge and, as one of the first inventors of rhetoric, highly eloquent, a fellow citizen and contemporary of the natural philosopher Democritus, from whom he derived his stock of learning. Well, this Protagoras is said to have agreed with his very own pupil Euathlus on a very fat fee, but one with an ill-considered clause: that Euathlus would pay him the agreed sum only if he won his case before a jury on his first appearance in court.
