Chapt 1: 178 a1 13.vii.20 Terence Echterling's valuable recent dissertation merits wider circulation.

Do try a search, dear reader, in this test file from Symposium, inside the text of Symposium, at this link here adjoined TLG0059, Sympall, r3
Admittedly this electronic text is in a difficult and dated old code, but it is one of the best now widely available to you at home: derived from the TLG’s text of SYMPOSIUM.
It is in the user-friendly form of a MS Word listing of textual lines. Do click on it if you have ‘WORD’ in some recent version; then kindly follow these 6 steps :
- after seeing the numbered file, beginning from start of Euthyphro at line 1, then–
- type (cntrl) + f, or the standard way of saying ‘I am trying to find all occurrences of this following word or phrase…’ then–
- try to get a good response by first look in upper left corner of your screen for an open rectangular box, which will be awaiting your reply, below word Navigation then–
- try as a first example typing into this box these 4 characters: a)ei This, as you know, is Plato’s favorite way of saying our ‘always’ or ‘forever’. Presto change-o then–
- see if you don’t get a response, where all of this first page of results are highlighted for you, and finally then–
- See if you can scroll down through successive pages, until
- you have seen all 37 specimens in Symp. of [the OCT 1995- their variant of ‘always’, which is identical to this TLG variant of] Plato’s word for ‘always’, h.e. A)EI.
In Greek this 3-letter variant looks like this, (after the final grave-accent has been re-added):
ἀεὶ
Here is my own — much boosted and much modified — rendition of their text, with my line numbering and the likely page numbers from OCT’ s forthcoming Tomus II, inserted by myself:
