Table of Contents:
33. χορῷ. The tragic chorus consisted of 15 χορευταί,
arranged in 3 rows (στοῖχοι) of 5 each, the leader (κορυφαῖος）
being in the middle of the first. So here Protagoras occupies the
middle of a row of 7. With the metaphor cf. Theaet. 173B τοὺς—
τοῦ ἡμετέρου χοροῦ and ibid. C λέγωμεν δὴ—περὶ τῶν κορυφαίων;
Phaedr. 246E ff.
34. ηὐλαβοῦντο. The MSS. have εὐλαβοῦντο, but in the
classic period εὐ- (and εἰ-) were always augmented in the past
tenses, while after 300 B.C. ηὐ- does not appear on inscriptions.
