iŭventūtēm corrumperet " Socrates was -accused of corrupting {on the alleged ground that he corrupted) the youth."
Hence it is used after non: nōn idcircō dīmīsī quŏd ĕīs suscēnsērem sĕd quŏd ĕĕōrum mē suppŭdēbăt " I did not send them away because I was annoyed with them (supposed reason, Subj.), but because I was somewhat ashamed of them " (real reason, Ind.).
§ 403. Concessive Sentences.—The Indicative or Subjunctive is used according to the meaning of the conjunction.
1. quamquam takes the Indicative in the best Latin: quamquam festinās, nōn est mŏră longă "Though you are in haste, it is not a long delay."
Quamquam properly means howsoever, as quisquīs means whosoever, and follows the rule of § 405.
If however it refers to an imagined case, the Subjunctive is used according to ('A) § 187: quamquam ĕpŭlis cărĕăt sĕnectūs "Although old age may be without its feasts."
2. etsī "even if," "although," takes the Indicative of facts: gaudĕŏ etsī nĭhĭl scĭo quŏd gaudĕam " I am glad, though I know no reason why I should be glad."

The Subjunctive is required to give the Concessive sense: quamvīs dīcās is properly "you may say how you like," lĭcet dīcās is "it is allowed, you may say."
§ 404. The poets sometimes use quamvls with the Ind. Conversely quamquam sometimes appears in later writers with the Subj. where we expect the Ind.
§ 405. Indicative of Indefinite Frequency.—The best Latin writers use the Indicative of events frequently occurring, corresponding to the English ever. So with quis-quĭs, quīcumque ' whoever,' qui (=quisquĕs); nōn bĕne ŏlet quī bĕnĕ sempĕr olet " He does not smell well who always
