Table of Contents:
εἴπερ κτἑ.: Socrates' opinion can be readily perceived. Between these repeated questions we must assume short pauses. On the possessive pronoun followed by the gen., see H. 691; G. 137, N. 1.
φιλόνικος εἶ: the accusation is a confession of weakness, having much the same force as Crito's answer (Crito 54 d) ἀλλ᾽ , ὦ Σώκρατες, οὐκ ἔχω λέγειν. See on 457 d.
ἐν ἡμῖν: cf. ἐν τοῖς πολίταις, ἐν τῷ δήμῳ. In spite of the addition of δεῖν, no subject for πολιτεύεσθαι is expressed. But we should not feel the ellipsis in English, and often make such without noticing it.ἡμῖν: seems to be a kind of ethical dat. See G. 184, 3, N. 6; H. 770. Cope translates the clause, ‘whether we shall find you concerning yourself about anything else,’ etc.
