τῷ μεταξὺ χρόνῳ. The interval between γένεσις and παιδεία is nowhere defined in the Republic: in Laws 794 C it is reckoned at six years. For the regulations applying to this period see infra 460 B—D, and cf. Laws 788 D ff. οὖν. See cr. n. It is admitted that Π is independent of A, so that οὖν (which most MSS have) may well be right. The tendency to confuse οὖν and ἄν may help to explain A's variants οὔκουν and οὐκ ἂν οὖν in I 333 E. Baiter reads δή. The confusion of ἄν and δή occurs no doubt in MSS, but its frequency has been much exaggerated, as for instance in Cl. Rev. VI p. 338. ὦ εὔδαιμον. Cf. IV 422 E note
