§323.
英語原文
Sometimes the optative is properly used after a leading verb which implies a reference to the past as well as the present. E.g.
Τοῦτον ἔχει τὸν τρόπον ὁ νόμος, ἵνα μηδὲ πεισθῆναι μηδ᾿ ἐξαπατηθῆναι γένοιτ᾿ ἐπὶ τῷ δήμῳ. Dem. xxii. 11. (Here ἔχει implies also the past existence of the law ; the idea being, the law was made as it is, so that it might not be possible, etc.) So Dem. xxiv. 145, 147. In Dem. iii. 34 ἵνα τοῦθ᾿ ὑπάρχοι depends on a past verb of saying to be mentally supplied. In Ar. Ran. 23, τοῦτον δ᾿ ὀχῶ, ἵνα μὴ ταλαιπωροῖτο μηδ᾿ ἄχθος φέροι, I am letting him ride, that he might not be distressed, etc., the meaning of ὀχῶ goes back to the time when Dionysus first let the slave mount the ass.
