2 The ⋯τραπ⋯ς is not θ⋯νατος, as Wohlrab maintains. The soul cannot grasp truth (65 B and D), for the latter drags it off on a by-path (), whereas it should be left by itself, to continue its march toward pure being. Socrates is not thinking of death (in 66 B), but of the philosopher's ‘death in life’ (). This is proved by his frequent use of ὅτι μ⋯λιστα in both sections.
