Exegesis
The final ti legeis peri seautou {τί λέγεις περὶ σεαυτοῦ | tí lé-geis pe-rí se-au-toû} narrows the interrogation from identity to self-testimony, with peri + genitive marking the topic of speech. The Greek keeps both questions tightly bound inside one speech turn, and the translations preserve that structure while allowing the dynamic rendering to sound more natural in English.
