ὅταν γὰρ
κτλ. Notice the balance and rhythm of the clauses in
this sentence—（a^{1}) ὅταν...ἑκάτερος, (b^{1}) ὁ μὲν...ὑπηρετῶν, (b^{2}) ὁ δὲ...ὑπουργῶν, (c^{1}) ὁ μὲν...ξυμβάλλεσθαι, (c^{2})
ὁ δὲ...κτᾶσθαι, (a^{2})
τότε δὴ...ἐνταῦθα, (a^{3}) ξυμπίπτει...οὐδαμοῦ.
ὑπηρετεῖν...ὑπουργεῖν. Both words are
used in an erotic sense. So ὑπουργία is used in re venerea, Amphis Ἰαλ. That
ὑπουργῶν <ὑπουργεῖν> is the best
restoration is shown by Vahlen Op. Acad. I. 499 ff.: cp. 193 C.
