3. ὦ Ἱππία τε καὶ Πρόδικε. Here and in 358Eand 359Aὦ
has dropped out in the MSS. after preceding -ω. The effect of
its omission would be to render the address unduly abrupt.
3. ὑμῖν. So the MSS. Sauppe's ἡμῖν is not necessary. ὑμῖν
means all three sophists: and ὁ λόγος is not the discussion as a
whole, but the speaking, viz. in answer (cf. δοῦναι καὶ δέξασθαι
λόγον). Throughout this chapter all the sophists reply: in the
next Socrates makes use of their united admissions to destroy
Protagoras alone.
7. διαἰρεσιν τῶν ὀνομάτων: see note on 314C
Plato. Protagoras. J. Adam & A. M. Adam. Cambridge. Cambridge University Press. 1893.
