I just wanted to shared that I was very amused to see this. As it happens, I made a brief attempt to read Plato from top to bottom using Taylor's translations at a very poor time in my life to try such a thing. I barely got past the introduction to his translation of "Alcibiades"-- but unless I'm very mistaken, that "10-page-long footnote in some book or other of Thomas Taylor's" happens to be part of the very small bit of Taylor's writings that I've ever sat and read!
I myself have never experienced my own Dæmon in any overt way... unless you count coincidences like this one, which I think is very likely to have been them waving hello! :-)
(As well as a way of telling me that I ought to try reading Plato one more time...)
