hortation to Polus to think well before he speaks is at the same time an intimation to the reader that the principle touched on in the question is of the greatest importance, as indicative of a man's moral views, and hence is not to be accepted without earnest investigation. How necessary this exhortation is, can be perceived from a question of Polus in 477 c.
