Exegesis
The conditional clause ei echei {εἰ ἔχει | ei é-khei} ‘if he has’ introduces resource assessment, and the goal phrase eis apartismon {εἰς ἀπαρτισμόν | eīs a-par-tis-món} ‘for completion’ states the intended outcome. The progression from intention through assessment to goal underscores prudent planning for successful execution.
