συλλογίζοιτο κτλ. should be interpreted by VI 509 B (the Good as the cause of Being). οὗτος is preferred by Stallbaum and others to αὐτός (see cr. n.), in which J. and C. find “a solemn emphasis.” There is no difficulty about the repetition (αὐτοῦ—αὐτός), but αὐτός ‘ipse’ is less suitable here than the deictic οὗτος: cf. αὕτη in 517 C and VI 462 E note
