Exegesis
The conditional clause ean diastolen tois phthongois me do {ἐὰν διαστολὴν τοῖς φθόγγοις μὴ δῷ | eán diastolḗn toîs phthóggois mḗ dō̂i} uses ean with the aorist subjunctive do to express a real condition: “if it does not give a distinction in the tones.”
Here diastole {διαστολή | diastolḗ} ‘distinction’ is the direct object, and tois phthongois {τοῖς φθόγγοις | toîs phthóggois} ‘in the tones’ specifies the sphere of variation.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:7
Likewise, lifeless things giving a sound , whether a flute or a harp, if they do not give a distinction in the tones, how will what is being played on the flute or what is being played on the harp be recognized?
