πρὸς αὑτὰ καὶ πρὸς ἄλληλα κτἑ.: ‘the relative as well as the absolute properties.’ Cope. The reckoning can only be made with odd and even numbers; hence πρὸς αὑτά means even to even, etc.; πρὸς ἄλληλα, even to odd, etc. The definition of λογιστική runs thus in Charmides 166 a ἡ λογιστική ἐστί που τοῦ ἀρτίου καὶ περιττοῦ ἐπιστήμη, πλήθους ὅπως ἔχει πρὸς αὑτὰ καὶ πρὸς ἄλληλα. The pl. must be construed according to the sense, not the form.
ἀνέροιτο: sc. τίς ἐστιν, the subject of which is given in the proleptic accusative. Cf. Prot. 351 e τὴν ἡδονὴν αὐτὴν ἐρωτῶν εἰ οὐκ ἀγαθόν ἐστιν.
