σὺ μὲν οὖν κτἑ.: Polus evades the answer and forces it upon Socrates, partly because he is not able to give it, for the distinction demanded lies equally remote from the circle of his thoughts and his feelings; partly because he does not wish it, for he has a suspicion that it will contradict all the views which he has thus far expressed.
