class with ei and first aorist active subjunctive of 	hel(935c) as

condition of the first class like the preceding one. The
condition is repeated in this changed form, as less likely to
happen and with inevitable death (dei auton apoktanth(886e)ai, must
be killed, first aorist passive infinitive of apoktein(935c) with
dei).
