[Greek: kai phrontid' exêmblôkas exeurêmenên].
Perhaps also the [Greek: Phainaretê] in Acharn. 49, may have reference to this person. In p. 151, B., [Greek: prospherou pros eme] is not 'come to me,' but 'behave towards me,' 'deal with me.' And in p. 156, A., [Greek: antitypoi anthrôpoi] are not 'repulsive' mortals (at least, according to our established use of the word), but 'refractory,' 'men on whom one can make no impression,' but from whom a blow rebounds as a hammer does from an anvil. Antisthenes and the cynical party seem to be meant. In p. 156, D., we come to a very obscure passage. Mr. Jowett's version is, 'And the slower elements have their motions in the same place and about things near them, and thus beget; but the things begotten are quicker, for their motions are from place to place.' This is not very intelligible. For [Greek: hê kinêsis], it seems to us that we should read [Greek: hê genesis]. The figure of speech is taken from the notion of sexual contact, and by [Greek: pros ta plêsiazonta tên kinêsin ischei], Socrates seems to mean that certain impressions or objects meet certain senses, _e.g._, sounds the ear, scents the nose, objects the eye, but severally 'have their rate of motion according to the speed of those faculties with which they naturally unite;' but, he adds, the sensations of hearing, smelling, seeing are more instantaneously perceived, when once produced, because the [Greek: genesis] or production of such sensation takes place [Greek: en phorâi], while the [Greek: aisthêsis] and the [Greek: aisthêton] are moving in space towards each other, and thus, as it were, the offspring partakes of the speed of the parents. In plain words, sight and sound and smell are produced at very different intervals of time, but are equally sudden sensations _when_ produced; and even those which are more slowly generated are as quickly felt. (Compare Aristot., Eth. x. ch. iii. s. 4. [Greek: pasêi (kinêsei) gar oikeion einai dokei tachos kai bradytês].) In p. 159, D., [Greek: hê glykytês pros tou oinou peri auton pheromenê] seems to us to mean, the sense of sweetness from the wine moving to and coming upon _the patient_,' [Greek: ton paschonta] (unless, indeed, we should read [Greek: peri autên], _i.e._, [Greek: glôssan], which would render the meaning rather clearer). Mr. Jowett's version is, 'the quality of sweetness which arises out of, and is moving about the wine.' Just below, [Greek: peri de ton oinon gignomenên kai pheromenên pikrotêta], the words [Greek: kai pheromenên] read very like an interpolation, as an attentive consideration of the passage, we think, will show.
