3. δἰ ὅτου δουλεύσουσιν<*> final relative (M.T. 565). With δουλεύσουσιν εὐτυχῶς (sarcastic) cf. ἀσφαλῶς δουλεύειν, § 203.5. 4. εἰ μὴ ἐξέσται, if they could not (were not to be able): εἰ μὴ ἐξέσοιτο might be used (M.T. 694, 695). 5. οὐχὶ...γεγενῆσθαι: cf. Plat. Crit. 50 D—51 B; and Arist. Eth. I. 7, 6, τὸ δ᾽ αὔταρκες λέγομεν οὐκ αὐτῷ μόνῳ τῷ ζῶντι βίον μονώτην, ἀλλὰ (sc. τῷ ζῶντι) καὶ γονεῦσι καὶ τέκνοις κ.τ.λ., where αὐτῷ μόνῳ and γονεῦσι both depend on ζῶντι (living for himself alone, and living also for parents etc.), as πατρὶ, μητρὶ, and γονεῦσι in Demosthenes depend on γεγενῆσθαι. The passage of Aristotle is sometimes called ungrammatical! 8. τὸν τῆς εἱμαρμένης θάνατον, the death of Fate, i.e. death at an appointed time,—opposed to voluntary death, as when one gives his life for his country (cf. ἀποθνῄσκειν ἐθελήσει, 10): τὸν αὐτόματον θάν. is natural (opposed to violent) death. The two are really the same, from different points of view. See West., with Aulus Gellius, XIII. 1, and Cicero, Phil. I. 4, 10. 9. καὶ τῇ πατρίδι: sc. γεγενῆσθαι νομίζων.—ὑπὲρ τοῦ...ἐπιδεῖν: cf. § 204.6. 10. δουλεύουσαν, in a state of slavery: see M.T. 885, 148. With the pres. partic. cf. μή μ᾽ ἰδεῖν θανόνθ̓, not to see me killed, Eur. Orest. 746.
