Exegesis
Mepote {μήποτε | mḗpote} introduces a negative purpose or fear clause, and barethosin {βαρηθῶσιν | barēthôsin} expresses the feared result in the subjunctive mood: the hearts could become burdened.
In context — Luke 21:34
But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and anxieties of life, and that day come upon you suddenly.
