When Hesiod says that, notwithstanding certain changes which shall have taken place, good shall continue to be mixed with bad, he does not say, ἐσθλὰ μιχθήσεται κακοῖσιν, but,
Ἀλλ' ἔμπης καὶ τοῖσι μεμίξεται ἐσθλὰ κακοῖσιν.
Opera et Dies.
Again,—
Ἔπειθ' ὁ πολίτης ἐντεθεὶς ἐν καταλόγῳ
Οὐδεὶς κατὰ σπουδὰς μετεγγραφήσεται,
Ἀλλ' ὅσπερ ἦν τὸ πρῶτυν ἐγγεγράψεται.
Aristoph. Equites, 1366.
