ἑρμαίῳ: all unexpected gains (κέρδος ἀπροσδόκητον) were supposed to come from Hermes, who had among other surnames that of κερδῷος.
ἄν μοι κτἑ.: we miss the less an object to ὁμολογήσῃς since the idea is made especially prominent by the following ταῦτα. Cf. 487 e ἐάν τι σὺ ἐν τοῖς λόγοις ὁμολογήσῃς μοι.
δοξάζει: is a vox media. The same activity of the soul may, according to circumstances, lead to error or to truth. Cf. also δόξα ἀληθής and ψευδής.— ἤδη: at once (jam), without need of further discussion.
