ἄνευ γε τοῦ κραίνοντος, iniussu dominatoris, cp. Il. 15.213 “ἄνευ ἐμέθεν καὶ Ἀθηναίης ἀγελείης”, without my consent and hers. χθονὸς, gen. with κρ., as Ai. 1050 “ὃς κραίνει στρατοῦ.” ὅστις ἦν: the verb in the relative clause is assimilated to the form of the conditional sentence: cp. Plat. Men. 89 B “εἰ φύσει οἱ ἀγαθοὶ ἐγίγνοντο, ἦσάν που ἂν ἡμῖν οἳ ἐγίγνωσκον τῶν νέων τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς τὰς φύσεις”: Xen. Mem. 1.7.3 “κυβερνᾶν κατασταθεὶς” (=“εἰ κατασταθείη”) “ὁ μὴ ἐπιστάμενος ἀπολέσειεν ἂν οὒς ἥκιστα βούλοιτο”.
