μὴ πάνυ κτλ. Plato's attitude to οἱ πολλοί (as Krohn remarks Pl. St. p. 118) has somewhat altered since 492 B ff., partly, perhaps, because his wrath has been diverted against the false philosophers. But this attempt to soothe the many-headed Beast should not be taken too seriously: see 501 E— 502 A note ἀλλοίαν τοι κτλ. See App. IV.
