Phaedrus: (cont.)

and really
O Socrates
it’s mostly that i haven’t thoroughly learned the sayings (rhema);

but actually the thought (dianoia)
of nearly all the ways he asserted that the lover (era-o)
differs from the non-;

I shall go through the chief points of each in order
beginning from the first

// 228ξ

τῷ ὄντι γάρ
ὦ Σώκρατες
παντὸς μᾶλλον τά γε ῥήματα οὐκ ἐξέμαθον

τὴν μέντοι διάνοιαν σχεδὸν ἁπάντων
οἷς ἔφη διαφέρειν τὰ τοῦ ἐρῶντος ἢ τὰ τοῦ μή

ἐν κεφαλαίοις ἕκαστον ἐφεξῆς δίειμι
ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τοῦ πρώτου
