[243] εἴσεται, cf. on 8.111. It will be seen that there is no MS. authority for “εἴ” here, ἤ being in place in a disjunctive clause. ἐπίστηται, subj., ‘will prove to know,’ H. G. § 280. The variants “ἐπίσταται” and “ἐπιστέαται” seem to point to an older and linguistically correct “ἐπιστάεται”. Observe that in the next clause the indic. “μαίνονται” is used; we should probably read “μαινωνθ᾽”.
