It is needless to take ἰσούμενον （1） as accus. absol., or （2） as governed by ἑζόμεσθ᾽ ἐφέστιοι in the sense of ἱκετεύομεν, —like φθορὰς ... ψήφους ἔθεντο Aesch. Ag. 814, or γένος ... νέωσον αἶνονAesch. Supp. 533. Musgrave conj. ἰσούμενοι as = “deeming equal,” but the midd. would mean “making ourselves equal,” like “ἀντισουμένου” Thuc. 3.11. Plato has ἰσούμενον as passive in Plat. Phaedrus 238e, and ἰσοῦσθαι as passive in Plat. Parm. 156b: cp. 581 ἰσοῦμαι.This text is part of:
