L.

ἐπιχειρῶμεν: see on 492 d ἐπεξέρχει. Notice the determination and assurance of the answers of Callicles.

διελοῦ: because it is a question of distinction between ideas.

νυνδὴ ἔλεγες: inasmuch as Callicles had in 491 a, b classed together ἀνδρεῖοι and φρόνιμοι.

ὡς ἕτερον (sc. ὄν): the omission of the partic. in the acc. abs. with an adj. and ὡς is very rare; i.e. Prot. 323 b ὡς ἀναγκαῖον οὐδένα ὅντιν᾽ οὐχὶ ἁμωσγέπως μετέχειν αὐτῆς. But Heindorf supplies ὄν.
