44. κυβεύῃς τε καὶ κινδυνεύῃς. Cobet rejects τε καὶ
κινδυνεύῃς, but Plato often puts metaphor and interpretation
side by side. Cf. below 314Bἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ψυχῇ λαβόντα καὶ
μαθόντα (where Deuschle wrongly rejected καὶ μαθόντα); 334Dσύντεμνέ μοι τὰς ἀποκρίσεις καὶ βραχυτέρας ποίει; Euthyd. 297C
πολὺ γάρ πού εἰμι φαυλότερος τοῦ Ἡρακλέους, ὃς οὐχ οἶός τε ἦν τῇ
τε ὕδπᾳ διαμάχεσθαι, σοφιστπίᾳ οὔσῃ καὶ διὰ τὴν σοφίαν ἀνιείσῃ, εἰ
μίαν κεφαλὴν ἀροτμηθείη τοῦ λόγου, ρολλὰς ἀντὶ τῆς μιᾶς, καὶ
καπκίνῳ τινὶ ἑτέπῳ σοφιστῇ . . . ὃς ἐρειδὴ αὐτὸν ἐλύρει οὕτως ἐκ τοῦ
ἐπ᾽ ἀριστερὰ λέγων καὶ δάκνων κτλ.; Lach. 194C χειμαζομένοις ὲν
λόγῳ καὶ ἀποροῦσιν; Theaet. 174C εἰς φρέατά τε καὶ πᾶσαν
ἀπορίαν ἐμπίπτων. See also note on τοὺς τῶν νέων τὰς βλάστας
διαφθείροντας in Euthyphr. 3A.
47. παρὰ τοῦ καπήλου καὶ ἐμπόρου: so B. The κάπηλος is
put in the foreground as the most usual seller of σιτία and ποτά:
the article is expressed only once, because the κάπηλος and
ἔμπορος both belong to the same genus ‘merchants’: cf. Hdt. IV.
71 τὸν οἰνοχόον καὶ μάγειρον καὶ ἱπποκόμον καὶ διήκονον καὶ
ἀγγελιηφόρον κτλ. There is no sufficient ground for bracketing
the words παρὰ τοῦ καπήλου καὶ ἐμπόρου as is done by Schanz,
nor for reading παρά του (with T) and omitting καπήλου καὶ
ἐμπόρου, as Hermann did.
ἐν ἄλλοις ἀγγείοις: i.e. other than our own bodies. Cf.
311Eτί ὄνομα ἄλλο γε λεγόμενον περὶ Πρωταγόρου ἀκούομεν; It
need not be implied that the body is itself an ἀγγεῖον (viz. of
soul), though the notion is not unplatonic, and kindred expressions are found in later philosophy, e.g. Marcus Aurel. X. 38 τὸ
περικείμενον ἀγγειῶδες καὶ τὰ ὀργάνια ταῦτα τὰ περιπεπλασμένα
(said of the body).
