εἰς . . . πράγματα: denotes the object, as περὶ ταῦτα (above 490 b) denotes the field, to which the φρόνησις is directed; and from it we must take the subject of οἰκοῖτο.

ἱκανοὶ ὄντες κτἑ.: is to be considered as explanatory of ἀνδρεῖοι and φρόνιμοι ὦσιν.

ἐγὼ δὲ σοῦ τοὐναντίον: this use of σοῦ, with which we must supply κατηγορῶ, is somewhat harsh after ἐμέ, with which it contrasts, and leads Cron to prefer to consider σοῦ as dependent upon τοὐναντίον, in the sense “the opposite of you,”—i.e. of what you say,—and the clause with ὅτι as epexegetic to τοὐναντίον, —a harsh and doubtful construction.
