2016-08-02 NSPRM Parmenides plg,hyp9 - Zeno's hypoth. vs the 9th; Socrates' challenge to Parmenides to unfold Self

Stephanos sections: 165e-166c,135c-d,136a-c 1- Can Zeno's hypothesis - as understood by Parmenides - be equivalent to the 9th hypothesis? 2- Socrates' challenge to Parmenides (at 136c): Okay, you laid out the dialectic for Zeno's hypothesis, now I'd like to see you do it (in full) for Self! Crucial translation issue here: English, amended from the current Balboa. Something akin to: "You speak, O Parmenides, of an extraordinary undertaking, and I do not quite understand. But why not unfold in detail for me a certain hypothesis of Self, in order that I may be more able to understand?" Greek: (ἀμήχανόν γ᾽ ἔφη, λέγεις, ὦ Παρμενίδη, πραγματείαν, καὶ οὐ σφόδρα μανθάνω. ἀλλά μοι τί οὐ διῆλθες αὐτὸς ὑποθέμενός τι, ἵνα μᾶλλον καταμάθω;) PG: The above (i.e., 2, Socrates' challenge) is the high point of the work.
