Reading edition
Maximus Tyrius remarks this difference (between the erotic dialogues of Plato and many of the others) in one of his discourses about the ἐρωτικὴ of Sokrates. Οὐδὲν γὰρ αὐτὸς αὑτῷ ὅμοιος ὁ Σωκράτης ἐρῶν τῷ σωφρονοῦντι, καὶ ὁ ἐκπληττόμενος τοὺς καλοὺς τῷ ἐλέγχοντι τοὺς ἄφρονας, &c. (Diss. xxiv. 5, p. 466 ed. Reiske).
