Interesting. I don't have the Teubner handy, and I don't have the time to read the whole TLG text, so I think I have come to the end of my resources.
I checked a Greek grammar, and it seems that “infinitive is used for the indicative” constructions are more common than I thought. Macedon was right. The apo teleia and the location of hws before the verb do make this complicated: I think one can make a case for both the “I don't think you should do this, because they will break through” and the “do this; I don't think they will break through” readings.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
