Sol 5.6

  1. If you truly grasp something that you know,

    you stand equal in it to all who know it.

  2. I say this because of a matter I once heard

    from a keen-minded man, alert to learning.

  3. He said, “It is not as they have said and believed:

    our scholar—the great authority—has no peer.”

  4. He advanced this claim through ignorance of what we said,

    for there is no ambiguity in our aforesaid words.

  5. Can pure gold be likened to the semblances

    the master goldsmith has fashioned out of sophistries?
