    Commentary on Plato, Protagoras. section 347c.

    [347c]

    easômen: sc. skopeisthai from the following skopoumenos. Cf. Alc. I. 113 d easantes oun peri autôn skopousin hopotera sunoisei praxasin passing over therefore the question concerning them, they ask which course will prove profitable if taken.--We expect skopômetha, but the expression is turned on account of the change to dir. discourse.

    sumposiois: this custom is followed in Xen. Symp. 2. 1 erchetai tis autois epi kômon (revel) Surakosios anthrôpos, echôn te aulêtrida agathên kai orchêstrida (dancing-girl) tôn ta thaumata dunamenôn poiein kai paida panu ge hôraion kai panu kalôs kitharizonta kai orchoumenon. These show their skill during the whole banquet. Plato, however, has the same view as the one here, when he says Symp. 176 e eisêgoumai tên men arti eiselthousan aulêtrida chairein ean, aulousan heautêi, ê an boulêtai tais gunaixi tais endon, hêmas de dia logôn allêlois suneinai to têmeron.

    agoraiôn: cf. agoraios nous: ho panu eutelês kai surphetôdês (vulgar) oude pephrontismenos: hoi gar agoraioi anthrôpoi amatheis kai apaideutoi Bekk. Anecd. 339. 10; Ar. Eq. 218 phônê miara, gegonas kakôs, agoraios ei.
