Socrates concludes the confused summary of the arguments since the hypothesis that virtue is something teachable by setting up episteme and orthe doxa as the two things which lead well and beneficially, only. to eliminate episteme on the specious claim that no one teaches it, leaving orthe doxa, correct opinion. However, Socrates does not go to orthe doxa. He claims that politicians rely on eudoxia, which is not "good opinion" but "good reputation" (despite the special pleading of LSJ).

Here I read through Platonic dialogues, translating and commenting on the Greek text as I go.
