interesting.

the text has to be later, in the byzantine era, for 3 reasons:

spacing between words, no all-capital-letters, and punctuation--all 3 of which did not occur in plato's era.

it would not be easy for us to read the greek of plato's time.

Not to mention the fact that they had no way of doing superscript or proportional spacing at that time.

This needs to be pursued aggressively.
