[46] It is possible to take εἰ δὲ καὶ αὐτοί as a protasis, supplying “φεύγειν ἐθέλουσι” or the like from 42. See note on 1.136. But the analogy of 262 “εἰ δὲ σὺ μέν μεν ἄκουσον” is in favour of joining “εἰ δέ” with “φευγόντων” (“εἰ” being exclamative as in “εἰ δ᾽ ἄγε”), thus making “νῶϊ δέ” begin the apodosis; but come, let them too fly .. yet will we, etc. See note on 1.302.
