σχεδόν τι τοιαῦτα: talia fere.—οἷα μὴ νομιεῖ κτλ.: quae si audiat, a laudatore irridendi causa dici non existimabit. For μή with the fut. indic. in clauses of result, see G. 1447; H. 1021 b. For the ‘Attic’ fut. (νομιεῖ), see on ii.1.24.

ἐχθίων: hated rather (than a friend). The subj. of εἴη is, of course, the person who seeks to make friends.

ἀπελαύνοι: sc. ἄν.

εἰ ἐπαινοίη: explains οὕτω.
