τἀπίλοιπα τῶν λόγων, not “τοὺς ἐπιλοίπους”, because the “λόγοι” are thought of collectively, not singly; cp. 131; Ant. 499“τῶν σῶν λόγων” | “ἀρεστὸν οὐδέν”: Tr. 682“θεσμῶν οὐδέν”: Plat. Rep. 352 B “τὰ λοιπὰ τῆς ἑστιάσεως”. The ref. is to the plan disclosed at 50 ff. κοινὰ, subst., ‘joint action’ (not adv., ‘jointly,’ as though the subject to “ἴῃ” were ‘our plan,’ implied in “τἀπίλοιπα τῶν λόγων”): cp. Thuc. 1. 8“πλωιμώτερα ἐγένετο παρ᾽ ἀλλήλους.” ἐξ ἀμφοῖν ἴῃ, lit., ‘proceed from both’: cp. Eur. Hec. 294“λόγος γὰρ ἔκ τ᾽ ἀδοξούντων ἰὼν” | “κἀκ τῶν δοκούντων αὑτὸς οὐ ταὐτὸν σθένει”.
