28. ἐν οἷς σὺ ἔλεγες τοῖς λόγοις: see on 342B
31. ἐπειδὴ τὸ ἥττω—ἀμαθία οὖσα. The only proof given
that we ‘encounter evils believing them to be evils’ was the
phrase ἤττω εἶναι ἡδονῆς (for which ἥττω εἶναι ἑαυτοῦ is here
substituted: see on 358C. We have demolished this proof by
showing that the phrase means ἀμαθία, and we therefore infer
that ἐπὶ ἃ δεινὰ ἡγεῖται εἶναι οὐδεὶς ἔρχεται (δεινά being a subdivision of κακά).
32. ηὑρέθη. The MSS. have εὑρέθη: but see on 315B
