φόρων: duties and imposts which the Athenians imposed upon other states, but expended only for their own interests.
καὶ τοιούτων φλυαριῶν: with a side hit at 490 c and a more definite reference to 455 e. Cf. Dem. Ol. iii. 29, quoted on 490 c.
22 f. τοὺς τότε παρόντας κτἑ.: again the same thought as in d above.
σοῦ . . . ἐπιλήψονται: contains an allusion to 486 a. For the partitive gen., see H. 738 a, and on 469 c. καὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ ἑταίρου Ἀλκιβιάδου: on the value of this prophecy of Socrates for determining the date of this discussion, see Introd. § 19. For the reader, the life of Alcibiades will serve as a most convincing proof of the soundness of Socrates' statements.
