Table of Contents:
40 f. λέγειν, κατηγορεῖν: indir. disc. for impf. indicative. The κατηγορία proper begins with ἃ δή. The use of δή implies a fact beyond controversy.
οὑτοσὶ ἀνήρ: Callicles with this turns to the surrounding listeners to give vent to his indignation. Cf. 467 b, 505 c.οὐ παύσεται φλυαρῶν: Callicles, who looks upon all philosophical activity as φλυαρία, objects to having dialectical treatment applied to him.εἰπέ μοι: the asyndeton renders the question especially incisive, and hence is a measure of excitement. The question οὐκ αἰσχύνει is a rhetorical imperative.
2 f. ὀνόματα θηρεύων: the same image is employed in Theaet. 166 c, with the substantive ὀνομάτων θήρευσις to denote logomachy, where the matter at issue has been quite forgotten.
Gonzalez Lodge. Commentary on Plato Gorgias. Ginn & Company. Boston and London. 1891.
