Arist. Eth. Nic. 1135a

?μοίως δὲ τὸ τοιοῦτον διω?ίσθω καὶ ?πὶ τοῦ οὗ ἕνεκα, καὶ πε?ὶ τὴν π?ᾶξιν ὅλην.

Hello,

I have two questions about two oddities (at least to me):

1) I guess τοιοῦτον is a rarer form of τοιοῦτο and couples with the preceding article, right?
2) What about διω?ίσθω? Could I have written διο?ίσθω instead?

Many thanks!

Thanks! Moving on:

ὁ?ταν μὲν οὐ̂ν πα?αλο?γως ἡ βλα?βη γε?νηται, ἀτυ?χημα: ὁ?ταν δὲ μὴ πα?αλο?γως, ἀ?νευ δὲ κακι?ας, ἁμα??τημα ̔ἁμα?τα?νει μὲν γὰ? ὁ?ταν ἡ ἀ?χὴ ἐν αὐτῳ̂ ᾐ̂ τη̂ς αἰτι?ας, ἀτυχει̂ δ' ὁ?ταν ἐ?ξωθεν̓:

Is the second breathing in ἐ?ξωθεν̓ a mistake? I found it here but not here. I thought it might be a remnant of an elided subjunctive ᾖ but what do I know? :D

Yeah, it's almost certainly just a mistake.

Taking again advantage of your kindness and expertise, why is ο? accented here?

Basically, ο? is accented when it's used on it's own (usually, if not always, at the end of a clause) instead of negating what follows (note how it's also not ο?κ here despite being followed by ἀλλά).
