Does "One" Denote "Him"?

You may as well call him a saint as call Socrates one.

Does one denote him? I think the word order is strange.

I think this seems to be right. You may as well call him a saint as call him(one) Socrates.

No, it means "You may as well call him a saint as call Socrates a saint." In other words, "he" (whoever this refers to) deserves to be called a saint as much as Socrates does.
