"Lesser gar philosopher This passion, thafmazein: th gar other authority the same philosophy."

I would say not worse than 7 * 8 = 54

Tss, tss, google translate ... Poor old Plato
Just read it and you'll see instead:

Wahrlich nämlich (ist) dies des Philosophen (Haupt-) Eigenschaft, das Staunen (bzw. sich Wundern): es gibt nämlich keinen anderen Anfang der Philosophie als diesen.

Or let me try in English:

Really, this (is) the philosopher's (primary) virtue, the wondering: there's no other starting point of philosophy than this.

d:-)

Edit: It sounds like this for German readers: "Mala gar filosofu tuto to pathos, to thaumazein: u gar allä archä filosofias ä autä." FWIW.
Edit 2: Replaced an English word.
