LVI. πρὸς τούσδε: the distinctions between various ideas which have been drawn in ch. XVIII.-XX. serve for Polus as well as Gorgias, inasmuch as the latter entered the discussion again in 463 e of his own accord.
διομολόγησαι: the διά implies ‘finally,’ ‘definitely.’ We should be more apt to use the καί in the demonstrative instead of the relative clause. ἔδοξα: Cron thinks the use of the aor. instead of the pres. implies that Callicles must have already at the time come to a decision, though he had not expressed one. But while such was doubtless the case, it is not easy to draw such a conclusion from the tense, for the Greeks in such an expression looked rather to the idea of the whole complex.
