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
