It might also be worth noting that Proclus, a fifth-century neoplatonist
who wrote philosophical works and commentaries on Plato's works,
suggests that the grammar of DUO ENTEUQEN KAI ENTEUQEN indicates two,
not four, others. Proclus states the following:
KAI FEROUSI MET' AUTOI DUO LHISTAS, ENTEUQEN KAI ENTEUQEN, MESON DE TON
IHSOUN. DIA TI DE ANA MESON TWN DUO LHISTWN ESTAURWQH . . .
Yours,
Elliot
