πλέον: cp. 40. λέγει, between two past tenses: cp. 254. τις εἷς. It is at first sight tempting to write “τις, εἷς ὃς πάντας”. But such emphasis on the idea of ‘one against all’ seems hardly appropriate here. And “τις εἷς” sometimes = “εἷς τις”: Thuc. 6.61 “καί τινα μίαν νύκτα καὶ κατέδαρθον”: Plat. Soph. 235B (“οὐκέτ᾽ ἐκφεύξεται”) “τὸ μὴ οὐ τοῦ γένους εἶναι τοῦ τῶν θαυματοποιῶν τις εἷς”: Parm. 145D “ἔν τινι γὰρ ἑνὶ μὴ ὂν οὐκ ἂν ἔτι που δύναιτο ἔν γε ἅπασιν εἶναι”.
