page 25 note 1 In this region the inhabitants ‘live much longer than here’, cf. Clouds, l.c.; and the sun and other celestial bodies are much more clearly seen, cf. ibid. 225. Have such correspondences been observed? In his note on 108 c 8 Burnet put foward the suggestion that the Phaedo's account of the Earth represents Socrates' own view; yet even he does not mention these points. However, he does indicate broader affinities on p. xlii of his Introduction.
