Hi Craig,
DEXOISQE is an optative. If you want to have an excellent tutor while you
are reading this work of Basil, try to get a copy of "Saint Basil on Greek
Literature" by N.G. Wilson (published by Duckworth, London 1975), who
provides an excellent grammatical commentary on the text.
And indeed, Basil tends to be quite a bit more complicated than the NT,
though well worth the effort.
Cheers,
Dirk Jongkind
