33. ἀμφισβητεῖν—ἐρίζειν. Cicero's translation of this
sentence is preserved by Priscian (Nobbe's Cicero, p. 1313):
‘Nunc a vobis, a Protagora et Socrate (leg. o Protagora et
Socrates), postulo, ut de isto concedatis alter alteri, et inter vos
de huiuscemodi rebus controversemini, non concertetis.’
38. εὐδοκιμοῖτε καὶ οὐκ ἐπαινοῖσθε. Heindorf suggests
that ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ should be written for καὶ οὐκ, or καί omitted; but
καί is occasionally used in this way.
39. ἄνευ ἀπάτης is opposed to παρὰ δόξαν ψευδομένων:
εὐδοκιμεῖν implies that he with whom one εὐδοκιμεῖ is sincere.
ἐν λόγῳ as opposed to παρὰ ταῖς ψυχαῖς suggests Shak. ‘Mouthhonour, breath, which the poor heart would fain deny, but dare
not’.
