Pa/nu ge, kai\ th=v a1llhv ge mousikh=v.
Pa/nu – Adverbial form of pa=v – altogether, entirely; in
answers: yes, altogether, entirely (pa/nu ge)
kai\
a0gw=na th=v a1llhv ge mousikh=v – insert a0gw=na. “Contests
of the rest of music.”
SW.
Ti/ ou]n; h0gwni/zou ti h9mi=n; kai\
pw=v ti h0gwni/sw;
h0gwni/zou – 2nd singular imperfect
middle indicative a0gwni/zomai:
as Dep. – to contend for a prize
h0gwni/zou
ti h9mi=n – according to
Miller’s notes, ti is
an internal accusative object – “were you competing for some [prize]…?” h0gwni/zou is in the imperfect tense to
represent the process of winning, rather than the completion. The tense reflects that it is pending, rather
than completed.
h9mi=n appears to be a dative of advantage,
although Miller’s notes disagree. “…
expresses Socrates’ interest in Ion’s success (the so-called ‘ethical dative,’
S 1486)." I am not sure how
this can be indicative of Socrates’ interest if the personal pronoun is plural.
h0gwni/sw – 2nd singular aorist
middle indicative a0gwni/zomai (see
above h0gwni/zou).
kai\
pw=v ti h0gwni/sw; - the
aorist tense of h0gwni/sw
shows that Socrates is now talking about the outcome of the competition: “and
how did you compete for some prize?”

Ta\ prw=ta tw=n a1qlwn h0negka/meqa, w] Sw/kratev.
h0negka/meqa
: 1st
plural aorist middle indicative fe/rw – in Act. and Med. to win for oneself.
Ta\
prw=ta tw=n a1qlwn :
unsure why Ta\
prw=ta is plural. While I was looking in the LSJ at fe/rw, I noticed that many of the
entries related to winning prizes showed places where ta\ prw=ta is used to indicate first
place. Perhaps the approximate meaning
is “the first things of the prizes”?
