Issue: Future conditional with Aorist in apodosis?

EI EICETE PISTIN hWS KOKKON SINAPEWS

EKRIZWQHTI KAI FUTEUQHTI EN THi QALASSHi
KAI UPHKOUSEN AN hUMIN

It seems we have a conditional sentence here,
expressing a future condition (you may say).

However, the apodosis contains an Aorist, albeit
with the particle AN.

How would one translate this?

"...you may say...and it obeyed (past tense??) you."

Also, is this a first class condition
with AN in the apodosis? (a particle associated with
second class conditionals)

Respectfully,

B. J. Williamson
