35 f. ὅπως μὴ . . . διαφθαρέντες: the same state of mind is shown in the accusation brought later against Socrates, the second part of which ran thus: ἀδικεῖ δὲ καὶ τοὺς νέους διαφθείρων. That this was Callicles' judgment is shown by his words in 484 c ff. above.
ἑταιροτάτοις: is found also in Phaedo 89 d.
39 f. ὅτι... λανγ̂γρεεκ>αὐτός τε φῂς κτἑ.: this must not be considered as a valid example of ὅτι after φημί, which regularly takes the infinitive. The ὅτι clause precedes, and may have escaped the speaker's mind when he was about to make the collocation of αὐτός and λόγος. The occurrence of two forms of λέγω in the same clause would likewise have been awkward.οἷος παρρησιάζεσθαι: you are disposed to free speech. See on 452 e. The omission of the first and second persons of the copula is rare. When εἶ is omitted, σύ is generally found. On the inf. see on 457 d.
ἔχει δὴ κτἑ.: with this Socrates recurs to what was said in 486 e.
