phdr 229e

ἐμοὶ δὲ πρὸς αὐτὰ οὐδαμῶς ἐστι σχολή:
I do not understand why the commentaries say that this αὐτὰ causes a problem and that τὰ τοιαῦτα should be better. in my opinion, both are good.

Reading through this section, starting at ἀλλ᾿ εἰ ἀπιστοίην..., I thought, perhaps naively, that the αὐτά refers back to the τὰ τοιαῦτα that came before, and that αὐτά is right and repeating τὰ τοιαῦτα there would be weird.
“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”
