εἶπεν: “suggested.” δῆλον, ἔφη, ὅτι: i.e. δῆλόν ἐστι, ἔφη, ὅτι. The condensed form δῆλον ὅτι, manifestly, occurs just below. With both forms, sc. θετέον ἐστίν. τὸ κακουργεῖν (sc. ποτέρωσε θῶμεν): doing mischief. Note the increasing brevity of questions and answers. ἡμῖν: in our opinion. For the dat. of relation, see G. 1172; H. 771.
