οὐκοῦν ἀνάγκη κτἑ.: a few lines below is found a repetition of the first clause of this sentence, in almost the same language, where, too, the statement is natural, and is used as a basis for a further deduction; here, on the contrary, it is out of place, and besides, is not followed up at all in the next sentence. These reasons have led to the omission of the bracketed words, by which we get a clearly logical argument, as follows: “The just man performs just actions.” “Yes.” “Must he not therefore wish always to perform just actions?” “Apparently.” “The just man will never, then, wish to perform unjust actions,” etc.
