ἐροῦσι δὲ τάδε, ὅτι οὕτω διακείμενος ὁ δίκαιος μαστιγώσεται, στρεβλώσεται, δεδήσεται, ἐκκαυθήσεται τὠφθαλμώ, τελευτῶν πάντα κακὰ παθὼν ἀνασχινδυλευθήσεται καὶ γνώσεται ὅτι οὐκ εἶναι δίκαιον ἀλλὰ δοκεῖν δεῖ ἐθέλειν.
Why is there apparently no care taken here between the middle future and passive future forms? γνώσεται at the end is passive, isn’t it? But honestly δεῖ ἐθέλειν is confusing to me as well. I assume that δεῖ is the finite verb going with ὅτι and applies to all of it: “and he shall be known/know himself that he needs to be willing not to be just but to appear so.” But if I’m understanding that correctly, I’d expect δίκαιον nominative, though that doesn’t seem to be a big deal.
Regardless, it makes me think that I’m just confused my this whole passage, though it appears clear enough.
