Πολυνείκης δὲ περιόντος μὲν καὶ ἄρχοντος Οἰδίποδος ὑπεξῆλθεν ἐκ Θηβῶν δέει μὴ τελεσθεῖεν ἐπὶ σφίσιν αἱ κατᾶραι τοῦ πατρός·
Πολυνείκης is the subject of ὑπεξῆλθεν; περιόντος and ἄρχοντος with genitive Οἰδίποδος form a concessive genitive absolute, while δέει introduces the fear clause μὴ τελεσθεῖεν. The optative is third-person plural and its subject is αἱ κατάραι, with ἐπὶ σφίσιν expressing against them.
