56. ὥς γέ μοι. B has ὥστε μοι, T ὡς γ᾽ ἐμοί (sic). There is
no occasion for the emphatic form of the pronoun.
58. τῶν ἄλλων σχεδόν τι. σχεδόν τι need not be accompanied by πάντες: compare Phaedo, 59C ἄλλος δέ τις παρῆν;
σχεδόν τι οἶμαι τούτους παραγενέσθαι.
59. προὐτράπετο. No other example of the aorist middle of
προτρέπω is quoted from any Attic author, but ἐτραπόμην is
common, e.g. Apol. 21B μόγις πάνυ ἐπὶ ζήτησιν αὐτοῦ τοιαύτην
τινὰ ἐτραπόμην.
60. ἐκέλευεν: the imperfect of this verb is used in narrative
style for the aorist.
