θηρεύεται τὴν ἄνοιαν: the application of the figure of the hunt to those arts which seek only the appearance, is frequent in Plato, and most developed in the Sophistes. With the same employment of abstract for concrete Demosthenes expresses himself, Ol. ii. 7 τὴν γὰρ ἑκάστων ἄνοιαν ἀεὶ τῶν ἀγνοούντων αὐτὸν ἐξαπατῶν καὶ προσλαμβάνων οὕτω ηὐξήθη.
ὥσπερ οἱ παῖδες (sc. εἰσιν): in such comparisons the nom. is as common as the attracted case. Madv. Syn. 20, 3.ἐπαΐει περὶ κτἑ.: this otherwise poetic verb is used several times by Plato. Cf. 518 c; Apol. 19 c; Crit. 47 b, 48 a; Lach. 186 e. It also takes the acc. Kr. 68, 31, 2.
