31. ἐπειδὴ τὸ ἥττω—ἀμαθία οὖσα. The only proof given that we ‘encounter evils believing them to be evils’ was the phrase ἤττω εἶναι ἡδονῆς (for which ἥττω εἶναι ἑαυτοῦ is here substituted: see on 358C. We have demolished this proof by showing that the phrase means ἀμαθία, and we therefore infer that ἐπὶ ἃ δεινὰ ἡγεῖται εἶναι οὐδεὶς ἔρχεται (δεινά being a subdivision of κακά).
32. ηὑρέθη. The MSS. have εὑρέθη: but see on 315B
