δ᾽ οὖν: but then, emphasizes, in contrast to the uncertain hope just expressed, what must happen in any case. Cf. Apol. 17 a. The Latin equivalent is certe. Socrates has in mind at the moment ch. LV. f., where, however, reference was made to the conversation with Gorgias and Polus in ch. XIX. f.

ἕκαστον: subject to θεραπεύειν.

8 f.

πρὸς ἡδονὴν ὁμιλεῖν: epexegetic to μίαν (sc. παρασκευήν). μὴ καταχαριζόμενον limits ὁμιλεῖν which belongs also to πρὸς τὸ βέλτιστον, and requires the supplying of an indefinite subject. See on 512 d ὄντα.

καταχαριζόμενον: used in Apol. 35 c with the acc. (τὰ δίκαια). διαμάχεσθαι frequently takes περί τινος. See also on 502 b, 503 a.
