οὐ τοῦτο, i.e. οὐ
τὸ τἀληθῆ λέγειν.
τὸ...ἀνατιθέναι. Perhaps an allusion to
the term used by Agathon, ἀνακείσθω 197 E. For
Socrates' criticism, cp. Phaedrus 272
A, Menex. 234 C
οἳ οὕτω καλῶς ἐπαινοῦσιν, ὥστε καὶ τὰ προσόντα καὶ
τὰ μὴ περὶ ἑκάστου λέγοντες, κάλλιστά πως τοῖς ὀνόμασι ποικίλλοντες
γοητεύουσιν ἡμῶν τὰς ψυχάς: Isocr. Busir. 222 B
δεῖ τοὺς μὲν εὐλογεῖν τινας βουλομένοις πλείω τῶν
ὑπαρχόντων ἀγαθῶν προσόντ᾽ ἀποφαίνειν (which sentiment is, perhaps,
referred to here).
προυρρήθη. Cp. 180 D. The reference is to 177 D.
ἐγκωμιάζειν δόξει. The emphasis is on
δόξει, implying the regular Platonic antithesis
δόξα )( ἀλήθεια.
Cp. Simon. 76 τὸ δοκεῖν καὶ τὰν ἀλάθειαν βιᾶται
(cited in Rep. 365 C).
πάντα λόγον κινοῦντες. “Raking
up every tale.” Cp. Phileb. 15
E; Theaet. 163 A; Rep. 450 A.
