[885] Δίκας ἀφόβητος not fearing Justice: cp. 969 ἄψαυστος ἔγχους, not touching a spear. The act. sense is preferable only because class. Greek says φοβηθεὶς τὴν δίκην, not φοβηθεὶς ὑπὸ τῆς δίκης: the form of the adj. would warrant a pass. sense: cp. Soph. Trach. 685 “ἀκτῖνος ... ἄθικτον.” With ἄφοβος （Soph. Aj. 366） ἀφόβητος cp. ἀταρβής （Soph. Trach. 23） ἀτάρβητος （Soph. Aj. 197）.
