Open translation for this passage
γυναῖκας μὲν γὰρ ἀχθήσεσθαι καὶ τέκνα ἐν ἀνδραπόδων μέρει, τοῖς δὲ ἐν ἡλικίᾳ τὸ ἐλαφρότατον ἔσεσθαι θάνατον, ἢν μετʼ αἰκίας μὴ γένηται.
The sentence is a pair of coordinated future infinitival clauses, followed by a conditional clause introduced by ἢν; the main syntactic difficulty is how to attach the ellipsis in the δεύτερον clause with τοῖς ἐν ἡλικίᾳ.
