εἰ καὶ κτλ.: ‘if men also who are ignorant of truth’ etc. καί sc. like ὁ μὴ ἔμπειρος τοῦ ἀληθινῶς ἄνω τε ὄντος κτλ. in our simile. Three deterioris notae MSS have εἰ καὶ οἱ ἄπειροι, and Hermann conjectures οἱ for καί: but cf. the use of εἰ καί in X 597 A. The article is not necessary, and ought not to be introduced without better MS authority.
