good fortune of Athens often supplies, rather than to any

In the genuine speeches of Demosthenes 6m>>; in object clauses is found
with Fut. Ind. 78 times; with Snbj. only 6 times after primary tenses
(5 ? 17 Mifl-g, 6 ? 25 eil'pnre, 9 ? 69 dvdrpe'dln, 14 ? 22 Jun, 21 ? 166
flwwofirs, 24 5 107 nixum), and only 4 times after secondary tenses
(18 ? 32 drriaunv, 19 ? ? 15, 230 ys'w'rm, ye'vuovrm, 54 ? 17 i'vawai). Of
these ten Subjunctives only one is that of the sigmatic or. , dvdrpe? dm,
and even this is made doubtful by the quotation in Aristeides ii 625, which
has dvarpe? iper (accepted by Blass). In the text the use present us with
the only instance in Demosthenes of an object clause with iirrme, in which
a siginatic is combined with a non-sigmatic form of the Subjunetive
(Weber's Absichlssiitze ii 38 f, 121). quGrju-e-re should therefore be preferred.
Goodwin, however, considers it very arbitrary to change 301101;"1-4

1rp6'repov is considered parenthetical by Blass in his ed. of Reh antz.
Halm (Comnieritationes in honoram anmseni p. 694) disapproves of this

besieging 'de'iov rcixos near the Thracian Chersonesus, Athens
did nothing effectual against him. 'The Athenians relapsed

In the genuine speeches of Demosthenes 6m>>; in object clauses is found
with Fut. Ind. 78 times; with Snbj. only 6 times after primary tenses
(5 ? 17 Mifl-g, 6 ? 25 eil'pnre, 9 ? 69 dvdrpe'dln, 14 ? 22 Jun, 21 ? 166
flwwofirs, 24 5 107 nixum), and only 4 times after secondary tenses
(18 ? 32 drriaunv, 19 ? ? 15, 230 ys'w'rm, ye'vuovrm, 54 ? 17 i'vawai). Of
these ten Subjunctives only one is that of the sigmatic or. , dvdrpe? dm,
and even this is made doubtful by the quotation in Aristeides ii 625, which
has dvarpe? iper (accepted by Blass). In the text the use present us with
the only instance in Demosthenes of an object clause with iirrme, in which
a siginatic is combined with a non-sigmatic form of the Subjunetive
(Weber's Absichlssiitze ii 38 f, 121). quGrju-e-re should therefore be preferred.

1rp6'repov is considered parenthetical by Blass in his ed. of Reh antz.
Halm (Comnieritationes in honoram anmseni p. 694) disapproves of this
parenthesis, but does not make the Aor. Subj. dependent on napaansvd-
craaQau. He prefers suggesting 'iva pi; #3011".

besieging 'de'iov rcixos near the Thracian Chersonesus, Athens
did nothing effectual against him. 'The Athenians relapsed
into their former languor and renounced or postponed their
intended annament' (Grote c. 87 viii 59). rpwfietav--
