ὑπὲρ σοῦ: cf. Apol. 22 e ὥστε με ἐμαυτὸν ἀνερωτᾶν ὑπὲρ τοῦ χρησμοῦ, so that I asked myself in the name of the oracle.
πολῖται: the idea of this word (as also of πολιτεύεσθαι) approaches so near that of “statesmen” that it is frequently used in that sense; i.e. in the speech of Diodotus against Cleon (Thuc. iii. 42. 5) χρὴ τὸν ἀγαθὸν πολίτην μὴ ἐκφοβοῦντα τοὺς ἀντεροῦντας ἀλλ᾽ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἴσου φαίνεσθαι ἄμεινον λέγοντα. Cf. below, e. Above we find πολιτικὸς ἀνήρ and also ἀνήρ simply, used in the same sense; cf. 517 a.
