Are you sure? I don't have time to look it up right now, but I could
swear I read that a few a people besides Plato wrote down some of what
Socrates said. Though even if my memory is correct, this is nit
picking, because 99% or more of what we have of Socrates is Plato.
Carrol would know off hand I think, but I seem to remember some minor
dialogs written by people other than Plato.
