[*] 10. The subjunctive may express a future purpose or a future object of care or exertion. E.g. Ἔρχεται ὅπως τοῦτο ἴδῃ, he comes that he may see this (317); ἐπιμελεῖται ὅπως τοῦτο γένηται (or γενήσεται), he takes care that this shall be done (339). In clauses of purpose the future indicative is sometimes used (324), and in the construction of 339 it became the regular Attic form.
