Plato, Sophist 244 C.

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 February 2009

Extract

In the last number of the Journal of Philology (xxxii. 63, p. 136) a change of punctuation in Sophist 244 C, together with a new interpretation, is proposed. To this serious exception must be taken; or perhaps not too serious, because the proposal can hardly be due to anything but haste and want of revision.It is not only in disagreement with a familiar idiom, but is easily seen to be inconsistent with the context, which can have barely received attention.The passage is as follows: ξE. On this Apelt, in his new edition of Stallbaum's Commentary, has written quite rightly, respondet antecedenti illi ut non opus sit mutatione…. Ceterum ad totius loci sensum nihil interest, utrum an scribatur.
