ὅ τι ἄν: for the hiatus see note on E. 39, and cp. § 35. δίδου παρρησίαν κτἑ: cp. the saying of Hiero (Plut. Apophth. reg. Hieronis 1) μηδένα τῶν παρρησιαζομένων πρὸς αὐτὸν ἄκαιρον εἶναι. περὶ ὧν . . . περὶ ἀλλήλων . . . περὶ ὧν: see note on E. 3. διόρα, ‘distinguish’; διά having the same force as dis- in the Latin discernere. In N. C. 16 it seems rather to mean ‘see through’, with the same force as per in the Latin perspicere. τέχνῃ: in a bad sense, ‘artfully,’ see note on τεχνικῶς, E. 73. πλέον . . . ἕχωσιν: equivalent to πλεονεκτεῖν ‘have an advantage over’, see note on E. 11. ἄκουε τοὺς λόγους κτἑ: cp. Xen. Agesilaus 11. 4 “οὐχ ἧττον ᾤετο καταμανθάνειν τοὺς τῶν λεγόντων τρόπους ἢ περὶ ὧν λέγοιεν”.
