ἔφαμεν. 484 D—487 A. ἀμφοτέρων is explained in 503 C note αὐτῷ is probably masculine (Schneider), in spite of αὐτό (the philosophic ἦθος) immediately following. We can hardly speak of assigning concrete τιμή or ἀρχή to an ἦθος. The pronoun refers to the philosophic guardian that is to be. See on δυνατὴ ἔσται 503 E.
