ἤνυσαν: cp. 231. χρόνῳ ποτέ, at some time or other: i.e. they will be caught sooner or later. With δοῦναι δίκην: Ph. 1041“τίσασθε, τίσασθ᾽ ἀλλὰ τῷ χρόνῳ ποτέ.” ἐξέπραξαν ὡς (=“ὥστε”, 292), as Aesch. Pers. 723 “καὶ τόδ᾽ ἐξέπραξεν, ὥστε Βόσπορον κλῇσαι μέγαν”; The verb is here ironical; cp. Plat. Gorg. 479A “τὸ αὐτὸ διαπεπραγμένοι εἰσὶν ὥσπερ ἂν εἴ τις τοῖς μεγίστοις νοσήμασι συνισχόμενος διαπράξαιτο μὴ διδόναι δίκην .. τοῖς ἰατροῖς, μηδε̂ ἰατρεύεσθαι”.
