LXXIV. ἴσως ἂν οὖν ἠγανάκτεις: as Callicles really did when Socrates proved to him that he understood nothing at all of statecraft.
ὅτι: see on 521 b.
παρασκευαστὰς ἀνθρώπους: the addition of ἀνθρώπους (“fellows”) is contemptuous.
καλὸν κἀγαθὸν: is used by Plato regularly of persons. Schanz, ii. 2 proll. 1, has collected only sixteen cases where it is not so used. Three such examples are found in the Gorgias, viz. 514 a, 526 a, in addition to the present passage.περὶ αὐτῶν: refers according to sense to γυμναστικῆς, but is made general in view of b above.
4 f. ἂν οὕτω τύχωσιν: see on 514 e. Here, “if they so chance,” i.e. perhaps.
