Notes (2)
- The headwords are aorist middle subjunctive -- first person singular and first person plural -- of
eu(ri/skw (epsilon 3697); and the point being made is that such subjunctives are sometimes found where we would expect the future indicative ("prospective subjunctive").
The primary headwordeu(/rwmai occurs in Pausanias and Gregory of Nazianzus, but both times with normal subjunctive usage.
