1 I agree with Professor Platt (C.Q. V. p. 28) in reading (not ), but not for the reason which he gives, viz. that = Ajax. A clause with the indicative may follow an incomplete antecedent just as well as an antecedent which is self-contained, though its function differs in the two cases. With Jebb's note in support of σπε⋯⋯ compare his note on 1160 of the same play, where he rightly prefers the indicative. The two passages are parallel—the one with, the other without, an antecedent expressed.
