35:21. It's kind of interesting that if the philosopher has experienced honor, that the story in book VI of the bad reputation of philosophy, and disdain for philosophers, as well as them having to escape is not even mentioned here again. I wonder whether this remains then a theoretical account since the other story of ill-repute is actually because philosophers live under a non-ideal constitution.
