[107] τοὺς αὐτοέντας ... τινας τούς implies that the death had human authors; τινας, that they are unknown. So in Soph. OC 290 “ὅταν δ᾽ ὁ κύριος ι παρῇ τις,” “the master—whoever he be.” τιμωρεῖν, “punish.” The act., no less than the midd., is thus used even in prose: Lys. 13.42 “τιμωρεῖν ὑπὲρ αὑτοῦ ὡς φονέα ὄντα”, to punish (Agoratus), on his own account, as his murderer. χειρὶ τιμωρεῖν, here, either “to slay” or “to expel by force,” as distinguished from merely fining or disfranchising: in 140 τοιαύτῃ χειρὶ τιμωρεῖν is explained by κτανὼν in 139
