6. εὐπορώτεροι—ἐσμεν, i.e. οὕτως ἔχοντες (viz. σὺν δύο
ἐρχομένω); it is hardly necessary to read οὕτως πως or to change
πως into οὕτως as Heindorf suggests.
8. αὐτίκα περιιὼν—ἐντύχῃ. The ἐπιδείξηται and βεβαιώσηται—deliberative subjunctives—of the MSS. would imply
too much eagerness: the change to ἐπιδείξεται and βεβαιώσεται
is adopted by Sauppe and others. This mistake (or the reverse)
is tolerably frequent in Plato's MSS., cf. Gorg. 489A (βεβαιώσωμαι T, βεβαιώσομαι B), 505E (ποιήσωμεν BT), 510A (ἀδικήσωμεν BT).
10. ἕνεκα τοὐτου refers to the following clause introduced
by ἡγούμενος. Heindorf refers to his note on Phaedo, 102D λέγω
δὲ τοῦδ᾽ ἕνεκα, βουλόμενος δόξαι σοὶ ὅπρ ἐμοί.
