οὕτω: belongs to θέμενοι. What
follows is the assertion of the multitude (cf. 352 d, l. 60).
ἡττώμενος: sc. ὅμως αὐτὰ ποιεῖ.
ὑπὸ μὲν ἡδονῆς: sc. ἡττώμενον, τὰ κακὰ, γιγνώσκοντα ὅτι κακά ἐστι, ποιεῖν. Instead of having μέν followed by its correlative, ὑπὸ δὲ ἄλλου λεκτέον, we have, with anacoluthon, ἐκείνῳ δὴ κτἑ.
ὑβριστής: inclined to mockery.
ἐν ὑμῖν: before you as judges. See on 337 b, l. 34.
οὐ γὰρ ἂν κτἑ.: see on 348 d, l. 6. “If the good were equal to the evil, or greater, evidently there would be no error in choosing it.”
Hermann Sauppe. James A. Towle. Commentary on Plato: Protagoras. Ginn & Company. Boston and London. 1889.
