英語原文
1. This Homeric use of the simple εἰ with the subjunctive in future conditions was allowed by poetic license in a few passages of the Attic drama, chiefly in tragedy, even in the dialogue. E.g.
Εἰ γὰρ θάνῃς καὶ τελευτήσας ἀφῃς. Soph. Aj. 496. Δυστάλαινα τἄρ ἐγὼ, εἴ σου στερηθῶ. Id. O.C. 1442. Εἰ μή σ᾿ ἐκφάγω ἐκ τῆσδε τῆς γῆς, οὐδέποτε βιώσομαι. Ar. Eq. 698. So Aesch. Pers. 791, Eum. 234 ; Eur. I.A. 1240, εἰ πεισθῇς (Mss) ; all in dialogue. In Sappho 118,1 we have αἵ τις ἔρηται.
2. In Attic prose, this construction is extremely rare and always doubtful. The Mss., however, have it in a few passages, as Thuc. vi.21 : Οὐ ναυτικῆς στρατιᾶς μόνον δεῖ, ἀλλὰ καὶ πεζὸν πολὺν ζυμπλεῖν, ἄλλως τε καὶ εἰ ξυστῶσιν αἱ πόλεις φοβηθεῖσαι. (Here a few inferiou Mss. read ἤν.)
