Ἀθήναζε: Athens was noted as a πόλις φιλόλογος (Leg. I. 641 e), and freedom of speech (παρρησία) was held to be the fundamental principle of a democratically governed state. Cf. Dem. Phil. iii. 3 ὑμεῖς τὴν παρρησίαν ἐπὶ μὲν τῶν ἄλλων οὕτω κοινὴν οἴεσθε δεῖν εἶναι πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν τῇ πόλει ὥστε καὶ τοῖς ξένοις καὶ τοῖς δούλοις αὐτῆς μεταδεδώκατε.
τῆς Ἑλλάδος: is the part. gen. dependent upon οὗ. The Eng. would find ἐν with the dat. more natural.— ἔπειτα: after all. GMT. 856.
ἀντίθες: equiv. to but consider on the other hand; lit. put in opposition. σοῦ μακρὰ λέγοντος κτἑ.: Socrates makes a similar remark in Prot. 335 c, when he really prepares to leave the gathering rather than waste his time in words.
