οὐκ ἔχω: Callicles does not understand the standard of judgment, to the exposition of which Socrates now turns.
οὑτωσὶ ἀτρέμα: quietly, just as we are. οὕτως is frequently used by itself to denote “under the conditions or circumstances in which we are at present,” and often with an adverb when it is to be translated separately. Sometimes it follows the adverb, and sometimes it has itself an explanatory addition, as Prot. 351 c ἁπλῶς οὕτω, ὡς σὺ ἐρωτᾷς. Cf. 460 e, 464 b, 468 c, 478 a, 494 d.
4 f. ἀποβλφπων πρός τι: with a view to something, which must, in contrast with εἰκῇ, be a definite object, as is afterwards more clearly shown. See on 474 d.
