[238] σὺ δέ, repeated to enforce the opposition of clauses, not of persons. This is common enough when the pronoun has not been expressed before, but is very rare in cases like this where an emphatic “σύ γε” precedes. ὀπάσσεαι: aor. subj., as regularly after “μή”: some have taken it as a ‘jussive’ future, but this does not seem in place here.
