§402. Simple Suppositions (Chiefly Particular).
英語原文
When the protasis simply states a present or past particular supposition, implying nothing as to the fulfilment of the condition, it takes a present or past tense of the indicative with εἰ. Any form of the verb may stand in the apodosis to express the result if the condition is or was fulfilled. E.g.
Εἰ ἐβρόντησε, καὶ ἤστραψεν, if it thundered, it also lightened. (This implies no opinion of the speaker as to the reality of the thunder.) Εἰ δ᾿ οὕτω τοῦτ᾿ ἐστὶν, ἐμοὶ μέλλει φίλον εἶναι. Il. i. 564. Εἰ τότε κοῦρος ἔα, νῦν αὖτέ με γῆρας ὀπάζει. Il. iv. 321. Εἰ μάλα καρτετόσ ἐσσι, θεός που σοὶ τό γ᾿ ἔδωκεν. Il. i. 178. Εἰ δὲ χρὴ καὶ πὰρ σοφὸν ἀντιφερίξαι, ἐρέω, but if I must match myself against the wise one, I will speak. Pind. Py. ix. 54. Εἰ θεοί τι δρῶσιν αἰσχρὸν, οὐκ εἰσὶν θεοί, if Gods do aught that is base, they are not Gods. Eur. Bell. Fr. 294. Εἰ ἐγὼ Φαῖδρον ἀγνοῶ, καὶ ἐμαυτοῦ ἐπιλέλησμαι· ἀλλα γὰρ οὐδέτερά ἐστι τούτων, if I do not know Phaedrus, I have forgotten myself ; but neither of these is the case. Plat. Phaedr. 228 A. Εἰ μὲν (Ἀσκληπιὸς) θεοῦ ἦν αἰσχροκερδής· εἰ δ᾿ αἰσχροκερδὴς, οὐκ ἦν θεοῦ. Id. Rep. 408 C. Εἰ δὲ ἐκεῖνος ἀσθενέστερος ἦν, ἑαυτῷ τοῦ πάθους αἴτιον ἡγήσατο. Dem. xxiii. 54.
