1. οὕτω: as the docu- ments showed. 4. ὡς οὐδ̓ ἂν...συμπνευσάντων ἂν, i.e. feeling (ὡς) that under no possible circumstances would the Thebans and ourselves become harmonious: συμπνευσάντων ἂν represents συμπνεύσαιμεν ἂν. The MSS. all have συμπνευσόντων ἄν, which Bekker retains. The future participle with ἂν is very rare and generally doubtful: but here it would represent the future optative with ἄν, for which there is no recognized authority. Moreover, the future of πνέω is not πνεύσω, but πνεύσομαι or πνευσοῦμαι, and this should be decisive (see Veitch). See M.T. 216; and for the repetition of ἄν, 223. 7. μικρὰ ἀναγκαιότατα (so Σ and L.1): see § 126.4 and note. Most MSS. give αὐτὰ τὰ ἀναγκαιότατα here, perhaps correctly.
