Commentary

81. mvp-comment-64-1 περιφανώς may be taken either with (1) μεμηνότα, or (2) with ἰδεῖν. Other uses of περιφανῶς are in favour of (1).

81. mvp-comment-64-2 the former (1), but it makes better sense to join the adverb here with the whole expression; i.e. not. 'You shrink from seeing a man who is clearly insane,' but, 'You shrink from seeing plainly a man's madness.' Cp. infr. 229, περίφαντος. The same meaning may be obtained, however, by supposing the adverb in (1) to be used proleptically, (3) 'You shrink from seeing a man's madness clearly shown.'
