26. ἁπλοῦν: opposed to ἀλλά τί μοι δοκεῖ ἐν αὐτῶ̣ διάφορον
εἶναι in 27. Plato uses ἁπλοῦν, as opposed to διπλοῦν, διάφορον,
σύνθετον, πεπλεγμένον, ποικίλον and the like, of that which is
uniform, simple, true without any difference or qualifications:
Bonitz in Hermes, II (1867), 307 ff.
30. μή μοι: see on μὴ οὕτως in 318B
31. τὸ εἰ βούλει τοῦτο—ἐλέγχεσθαι, cf. below, 333Cτὸν
γὰπ λόγον ἔγωγε μάλιστα ἐξετάζω, συμβαίνει μέντοι ἴσως καὶ ἐμὲ
τὸν ἐρωτῶντα καὶ τὸν ἀποκρινόμενον ἐξετάζεσθαι. Here τό, as
often, introduces a quotation.
32. τὸ δ᾽ ἐμέ τε καὶ σὲ τοῦτο λέγω: τοῦτο (cf. l. 31)
belongs to the τὸ δ᾽ ἐμέ τε καὶ σέ and not to λέγω in the usual
sense of τοῦτο λέγω ‘I mean this’.
