ἐκεῖνο κτλ. ‘Well then,’ said I, ‘I was referring to yon class’ etc. ἐκεῖνο=‘already-mentioned’ (in 552 C and later). On τὸ μὲν—ἑπόμενον see 564 D note ἀφωμοιοῦμεν. See cr. n. The present is less suitable, especially with δή (=ut scis, Schneider). For the error see Introd. § 5. ταράττετον κτλ. ταράττετον is used absolutely as in Hipp. Min. 373 B Σωκράτης—ἀεὶ ταράττει ἐν τοῖς λόγοις. On φλέγμα τε καὶ χολή the Oxford editors refer to Arist. Probl. I 29. 862^{b} 27 τῶν κατὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἡ χολὴ μέν ἐστι θερμόν, τὸ δὲ φλέγμα ψυχρόν, and rightly hold that ‘the hot humour answers to the stinging, the cold to the stingless drones.’ Cf. Tim. 85 D ff.
