μή μ᾽ ἀποστερήσῃς … ἁδονὰν: the double acc. with “ἀποστερεῖν”, though less frequent than acc. of person and gen. of thing, is not rare: cp. Antiphon Tetral. “β. γ.” § 2 “τὸ ἥμισυ τῆς κατηγορίας ἐμαυτὸν ἂν ἀπεστέρησα”: Isaeus or. 8 § 43 “τὰ.. χρήματα ἡμᾶς ἀποστερήσων”: Xen. An. 7. 6. 9“ἡμᾶς..ἀποστερεῖ τὸν μισθόν.” μεθέσθαι, sc. “αὐτῆς”, epexegetic inf.: see on 543 “δαίσασθαι”. Cp. Eur. Med. 736“ἄγουσιν οὐ μεθεἶ ἂν ἐκ γαίας ἐμέ”, where the acc. depends on the part., and “ἐμοῦ” is to be supplied with the verb. (Porson, in his note on that v., suggests “ἁδονᾶν” here, comparing the plur. “ἡδονὰς” in 1302.)
