προσβλέψαι. This may have been the vox propria for a lover's glance, cp. Ar. Plut.
1014 (quoted below).
ἢ οὑτοσὶ. This (elliptical) use of
ἤ, alioquin, “but
that,” is “regular with δεῖ,
προσήκει, and the like, in the preceding clause” (Adam on Prot. 323 A).
ζηλοτυπῶν. This is a ἅπ. εἰρ. in Plato: cp. Ar. Plut. 1014 ff. ὅτι προσέβλεψέν μέ τις, | ἐτυπτόμην διὰ τοῦθ᾽ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν. |
οὕτω σφόδρα ζηλότυπος ὁ νεανίσκος ἦν.
θαυμαστὰ ἐργάζεται. Cp. Laws 686 C
θ. ἐργασάμενον; Theaet. 151 A
θ. δρῶντες; 182 E
above θ. ἔργα ἐργαζομένῳ: similarly 218 A
ποιοῦσι δρᾶν τε καὶ λέγειν ὁτιοῦν.
τὼ χεῖρε. This and 214 D below are the only exx. in Plato of ἀπέχεσθαι in the sense continere
(manum): elsewhere it occurs mainly in poetry
(Od. XXII. 316, etc.).
μανίαν. Cp. Laws 839 A
λύττης...ἐρωτικῆς καὶ μανίας: Soph. fr. 162
νόσημ᾽ ἔρωτος τοῦτ᾽ ἐφίμερον κακόν: and 173 D
supra.
φιλεραστίαν. “Amor quo quis
amatorem amplectitur” (Ast); equivalent to ἀντέρως (Phaedrus 255
D): cp. 192 B.
ὀρρωδῶ. Horresco, a strong
word for “quaking with fear.”
διαλλαγή. Alcib. catches up Socrates' word
διάλλαξον and negatives it with a “What
hast thou to do with peace?” “But,” he proceeds,
“I'll have that out with you by-and-bye!” (see 214 C
ad fin. ff.). Then, with a sudden change of tone from bullying
and banter to affectionate earnestness, he begins νῦν δέ μοι
κτλ.
