Ryan Brown, "Plato’s Use of Mogis (Barely, Scarcely, With Toil)"

This essay focuses on Socrates's use of the phrase "scarcely able to gaze (mogis kathorosa) upon the things that are" in the Phaedrus's Palionde (248a). I argue that a better translation would be "gets a thorough look at the things that are only with much labor."
