ἆρ᾽ οὖν κτἑ.: this conclusion comes from the fact that Socrates, on the basis of the view set forth by Callicles in 491 e ff., uses in the predicate ἀγαθοί in place of χαίρουσι, and κακοί in place of λυποῦνται, whereas these same words in the subject have an entirely different meaning, which is to be seen from the explanation of Callicles in 491 ξ δ. The two predicates are to be conceived as belonging to two different sentences, thus: οἱ ἀγαθοί τε καὶ οἱ κακοὶ παραπλησίως εἰσὶν ἀγαθοί and οἱ ἀγαθοί τε καὶ οἱ κακοὶ παραπλησίως εἰσὶ κακοί.
