Note 15 — Chapter XXXII · PHILEBUS.

Reading edition

Plato, Philêbus, p. 17 A. οἱ δὲ νῦν τῶν ἀνθρώπων σοφοὶ ἓν μέν, ὅπως ἂν τύχωσι, καὶ πολλὰ θᾶττον καὶ βραδύτερον ποιοῦσι τοῦ δέοντος, μετὰ δὲ τὸ ἓν ἄπειρα εὐθύς, τὰ δὲ μέσα αὐτοὺς ἐκφεύγει, &c.

Stallbaum conjectures that the words καὶ πολλὰ after τύχωσι ought not to be in the text. He proposes to expunge them. The meaning of the passage certainly seems clearer without them.
