Socrates: (cont.) by nature partaking in some part of what is divine and not feverish (a-tuphos)

// 230α

θείας τινὸς καὶ ἀτύφου μοίρας φύσει μετέχον

Wordplay in recent clauses turns (twists?) around τύφω (tuphein — to smoke, fill with smoke), the related τῦφος (tuphos — smoke, vapor, delusion, vanity, nonsense, fever), and the monster Typhon; as well as a slanted alternative between polu-plekein and a-ploos, to be either a many-twisted (e.g. complex) or an un-folded (i.e. simple) thing.
