Salvete omes!

Regarding Iði and Gangr, the subject of the verb - "splitting up", is implied to be the inheritance, which is the object of the previous clause. (Wow, non decorum est!)

Time for some Greek - χαίρετε πάντες

Dikaiopolis is an Athenian but he does not live in Athens. He lives in the field for he is a farmer. And so he cultivates the farm and works in the field. But life is difficult, for the farm is small and the work is large. So Dikaiopolis often groans and says "O Zeús, life is difficult, for the work is endless, and the farm is small and does not yield much grain." But the man is strong and energetic, so he rejoices often; for he is a free farmer and he lives his home. For the farm is beautiful and yields grain, but not very much.

Valete omnes!
