PREFACE.
THE Beginner's Greek Book is an attempt to apply
the principles of pedagogy to the preparation for
reading Xenophon's Anabasis. It is complete in itself,
and is intended to furnish the first year's work. The book
is fully illustrated, printed in large type, and in every way
made legible and attractive. The leading principles of
the language, the inflectional forms, fundamental rules of
syntax, exercises and vocabularies, are given in a manner
at once clear and most convenient for the learner's use.
The full scientific treatment of these forms and rules, is
accompanied by brief critical observations especially suited
to the needs of the secondary pupil. Although by this
manner of treatment and style of typography, the number
of pages is necessarily increased, the pupil's facility in the
study of Greek, is thereby greatly augmented.
The subject matter of the book, taken mainly from the
first chapters of the Anabasis, contains only that which is
of prime importance in the subsequent acquisition of Greek.
While avoiding on the one hand, the meagreness of the
epitomes, and on the other, the unassimilated material of
many text books for the secondary school, its aim is com-
pleteness. It gives a full treatment of transliteration, a
brief scientific exposition of the fundamental uses of the
prepositions, a practical treatment of word formation, of
Grimm's Law, and of word grouping. While making
provision" in each lesson for constant reviews, it assures

Vlll PREFACE.
The future of the vowel, mute, and liquid verbs is intro-
duced in order as one schema. The first and second aorists
are given together, and the first and second perfects. The
inflection of etyu-fc has been placed with the -a) verbs, and the
regular -/z-t verbs have been brought forward and developed
with the subjunctive and optative moods. The verbs are
fully classified and repeatedly reviewed.
Special care has been directed toward the development
of the pupil's understanding together with his memory.
All of the material is presented according to its logical
sequence, and, by the critical observations, the pupil is
led to classify and assimilate it by its necessary relations.
Thus in all of his work, he is led to observe, to think, and
to form his own conclusions. Further, not only do the dif-
erent subjects follow a logical sequence, but each subject
is developed in the same manner. Accordingly many of
the leading principles of the language, as the euphony
of vowels and of consonants, and the syntactical rules,
have been reduced to their simplest analysis and expressed
in the most concise language consistent with clearness.
Attention is called to the natural treatment of the future and
aorist of liquid verbs, of the second aorists and perfects,
of the infinitive and participle, and how the exposition of
one subject by proper'review references, prepares the mind
of the student for the rapid assimilation of kindred matter,
as it is shown in the correlation of the pronominal forms
of the vowel declensions.
The teacher will be interested to note the simplified
treatment of the -jjll verbs and of the great terrors to the
average pupil, the subjunctive and optative moods, condi-
tional, final, and temporal clauses, and indirect discourse.
Not only are the hypothetical notions of the subjunctive

and optative deferred until the direct expressions of the
language have been mastered, but the simple uses of these
moods are made to prepare for the understanding of ithe
more complex, and these in turn, through the conditions
and other dependent clauses, are made a preparation for
the most complex, indirect discourse.
Again, as with the paradigms so with the principles of
syntax, only the best types have been selected. Whenever
they offer any difficulty, they have been presented in a series
of special examples. While they have been taken intact
from the Anabasis, they are expressed in familiar language
and should be thoroughly committed to memoiy. The
more obvious constructions have been presented with the
general exercises, and afford an additional incentive to
the scholar for careful and thorough study.
The exercises of the book, which have been selected
especially for their freshness and their ease in assimila-
tion, are taken, as a whole, intact from the Anabasis, and
are written therefore in the form that will commonly
appear in the pupil's later reading. While they include
regularly sentences for review, they are graded for both
oral and written work, and it is recommended that at the
beginning, at least, they be taken in this manner. The
English exercises have been subordinated to the Greek.
These consist, as a rule, of one half of the latter, and are
chiefly intended to apply the rules of construction.
As a supplement to these exercises, selections from the
Anabasis for sight reading and retroversion have been
introduced early, and continued at frequent intervals
throughout the book. Selections from other works and
authors have been excluded, since, through their rare words
and miscellaneous authorship, they too often distract the

2 Has the same sound as the long vowel, only shorter, — near the sound heard
ill m^f.
^ Always s at the end of a word, elsewhere , from' their open sounds in
pronunciatiQU, are called open vowels ; i and v, close
vowels,
IV. Diphthongs, The proper diphthongs, except m,
are formed by the union of an open vowel with a close
one, as at, av, ei, ev, ot, ov, r)v. The improper diph-
^ I. e., they have more time given them in pronunciation than the short
vowels.
PRONUNCIATION. 3
thongs are formed by the union of a long vowel (a, rj, noTafi^, to
ihe river ; \k\Q grave accent (^), tov Trorafiov, the river.
2. These accents are written over the vowel of the
accented syllable or second vowel of the diphthong, un-
less the second vowel is l subscript (IV.). If the vowel
has a breathing also, the acute and the grave follow it,
but the circumflex is placed above the breathing : croc^os,
wise ; dycj, lead ; ol, who ; (S, to whom. If the accented
vowel is a capital, the accent, as well as the breathing,
stands just before it : "^liero (IV.).
3. The acute can stand only on one of the last three
syllables of a word ; the circumflex only on one of the
last two ; and the grave only on the last.
a. A word having the acute on the ultima is called
oxytone : Trora/xds; on the ^Qim% par oxgtone : to^ov ;
on the antepenult, ^i^ op ar oxytone : ayyeXo?.
h. A word having the circumflex on the ultima is
called perispomenon : rlfirjf;, of honor; on the penult,
properispjomenon : hcopov, gift, oiko^, home,
c. A word having no accent on the ultima is called
barytone : ro^ov, ayyeXo<;, hoipov.
X. The antepenult can be accented only when the
last syllable is short : ayyeXo?.
XI. If the penult is accented, it takes the circum-
flex when it is long by nature and at the same time
the ultima is short by nature : hoipov. Otherwise, if
THE BEGINNER S GREEK BOOK.
accented, it takes the acute : Scopov^ to^ov, ltttto^,
€(T\OV.
Note. Final at and ot are regularly considered short
in determining the accent : /cw/xat, villages, dyyeXou,
messengers ; except in the optative, and in the adverb
oiKOL, at /lome,
XII. The circumflex can stand on the ultima only
when it is long by nature,^ but it does not necessarily
stand on such a syllable : Kcoficov, of villages ; rlyirj,
honor, tIjjltjs.
XIII. The place of the accent on many words must
be learned by observation. But in most words it
recedes as far as possible from the end (IX. 3 ; X.).
This is called recessive "accent. Thus, the accent on
ayyeX.09 is placed on the penult whenever by inflec-
tion the ultima becomes long : ayyekov ; but recedes
again when the ultima becomes short : dyyekop. Verbs
regularly take the recessive accent.
XIV. An oxytone regularly changes its acute to
the grave before other words in the same sentence in
close connection : ets rrfv ^oipav iXavpovcn (for et? Tijv
)(copav iXavpovcn).
Note. The acute is the regular accent. The cir-
cumflex and grave are modifications of this. The
grave indicates that the syllable upon which it is
placed is to be pronounced with a lighter stress.
^ Observe that the circumflex can stand only on a syllable long by
uatare.
THE ALPHABET.
XV. Punctuation. The comma ( , ) and period ( . )
are like those in English. The colon ( • ), a point above
the hne, corresponds to the English colon and semi-
colon. The mark of interrogation ( ; ) is like the
English semicolon.
LESSON I.^
THE ALPHABET.
I. Learn the alphabet and sound of the letters (L),
breathings (IL), classification of vowels and diph-
thongs (IIL Rem. ; IV. Rem. ; V. 1, 2).
Remark. Note the letters of the Greek alphabet
having forms like the corresponding English letters,
and then learn those differing from the English noting
the sound of each letter. Give the sound of each
letter and then the character representing it, and vice
versa, until the characters can be written instantly upon
hearing the different sounds. Observe that the Greek
name of each letter begins with the sound of that
letter.

Review IX, 3; X, XI, XIII, XIV; Lessons III,
IV, V.
1 6. The Greek verb has three voices, the active,
middle, and passive.
a. There are four moods : the indicative, suhjuiictive, opta-
tive, and imperative. To these are added, in the conjugation of
the verb, the infinitives and participles.
d. There are seven tenses : the present, imperfect, aorist, fu-
;- ture, perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect.
17. There are three persons, first, second, and
• third.
18. There are three numbers (6).
. ig. Verbs have recessive accent : that is, they accent
the antepenult if the last syllable is short, otherwise the
penult.
1 The average amount of work is given in the exercises of this book as
a guide to the pupil. The teacher should vary this, if need be, in his
instruction to the class.

21. Most Greek verbs are conjugated like Xvco, and
are called from their first form -w verbs.
22. Verb Theme. The theme of a verb is its funda-
mental part, the common base to which certain prefixes
and suffixes are added in its conjugation. The theme
of Xvoi is Xv' or Xv-,
23. Tense Ste7n. From the theme the different tense
stems by certain tense suffixes are formed. The final
vowel of these is either o or c, and is called the variable
(or thematic) vowel. Its sign is 7e-j as XvVe., the present
stem of Xv(xi.
24. Personal Endings. The different forms of the
verb are made by adding to the tense stems certain
endings. These in the finite moods denote the person ^
and number, and are called Personal Endings.
25. Variable {or thematic) vowel. The variable
vowel is o before /x and v, and e elsewhere.

26. In the present indicative active originally -o-jut,
-c-cri, and -e-Tu were respectively the endings of the 1st,
2d, and 3d person singular, and -o-vcri of the 3d plural.
In the former, -/xi was dropped and o changed to w ;
I in -crt and -rt passed over to the preceding vowel and
united with it "by contraction, and r was dropped. In
the latter, v in -vai before sigma was dropped and o
lengthened to ov (194, 4, end).
27. In the second person singular of the middle, cr
*T dropped after a variable vowel. Here -eat by a
rsgular rule of contraction becomes -et or -77.
Observe that the active and middle voices are distinguished
Dtily by different endings ; that in the dual and second person
.singularbf the middle -aO- occurs instead of -r- of the active.
?S. The personal endings of the primary^ tenses in
thf indicative, active and middle, are as follows :
Active. Middle.
Sing. Dual. Plur. Sing. Dual. Plur.

3. -, (-rt, -crt) -TOP -(TL, {-vctl) -rat -crOov -vTai
29. The present tense represents the action as taking
place at the present time.
a. Customary actions and general truths are also expressed
by the present.
30. The active voice represents the subject as acting :
XuG), J loose.
^ Cf. primary tenses (110).

a. Observe^ that the case endings ^ unite with the final
vowel of the stem, forming one syllable.
d. Observe that the terminations of the dual and plural of
each noun are like the endings of the dual and plural of the
fem. article (10).
c. Observe that : 1 . In the singular a preceded by e, l, or /o,
is retained : %c^/3a, -a?, etc. 2. When the final vowel is pre-
ceded by 0-, TT^ W, or a double consonant (VIII. 2, n.), it is
changed to a in the nom., ace, and voc, and to r} in the gen.
and dat._, OdXarra, OaXdrTT}^. 3. After other letters the
final vowel is regularly changed to 7) throughout^ and is de-
clined like the fem. article (10, 11): crKr^vri^ KcofMr).
d. Observe that the nom. and voc. are alike in all numbers.
^ These observations' must be actually made by the pupil (10. n.).
2 These will be noticed later (49).

42. Quantity of the Terminations.
a. Observe that a in the endings of the gen. sing., nom.
dual, and ace. plural is long.
h. Observe that : 1. In the singular a preceded by e, t, or /),
is long, except in nouns ending in pa preceded by a diphthong
or V : 7€)i5/oa, irelpa (cf. p. 68^). 2. That the stem vowel a of
the ace. and voc. shig. agrees in quantity with the nom. : 76-
(l)Vpa, ye(l>vpav, djxa^av^ daXarrav.
43. Accent of Nouns.
1. The accent of the nom. sing, of most nouns must
be learned by observation. All the forms of a noun are
accented on the same syllable as the nom. sing., and
have the same kind of an accent as far as the general
rules of accent (X., XL, n., XIL, XIII.) will allow.
2. In the A Declension the last syllable of the gen.
plur. is always circumflexed : a/xafa, afjua^cov. ^
3. The accent of the ultima is regularly retained, but
in the gen. and dat. of all numbers, a long ultima, if
accented, takes the circumflex (XIL, 13, 1): crrparta?,
TtjLt'^9, ti/xt}, Tt/xai?, rat?, (xt^v, fjnqvoiv, fjLrjvwp.

ADJECTIVES OF THE VOWEL DECLENSION.
Review 9, 10, 13, 3, a; 4^1, a, b, c ; 43, 1, 2, 3;
Lesson IX.^
70. The stem of these adjectives ends in o and a
(40, 58), like the nouns of the Second and First Declen-
sions, and are therefore declined with the same endings.
The masc. and neut. follow the O Declension, and the
^ The feminine of the adjective follows tlie A declension.
2 The lesson of the precedin^^ day should always be reviewed, and the
preceding ones as often as possible.
• ADJECTIVES, VOWEL DECLENSION. 33
fern, the A. Long a in the feminine is retained after
e, I, or p ; otherwise it is changed to rj. Thus the nom.
sing, ends in 09, 17 or d, ov (Latin -us, -a, -myi) : S77X09,
SijXr), SrjXov ; d^LO^;, dfta, d^Lov.
71. Some adjectives in og, especially compounds, are
decHned with two sets of endings, having the masc. and
fem. alike : diropo^y -ov ; dfia^LTo^, -ov ; pdp^apo<;, -ov.
72. Adjectives follow the rule for the accent of nouns,
except in the nom. and gen. plur. of the vowel declen-
sion, the fem. follows the accent of the masc. : d^ioi,
a^-tat ; agucov, agtwf .
73. Hereafter the paradigms requiring special notice
only will be given in the lessons. All others may be
found iu the appendix. But the pupil whenever possi-
ble should first inflect the words as in 61, and then
compare his work with the paradigms. Decline : 1. Srj-

POSITION OF ADJECTIVES.
77. The attributive adjective qualities the noun di-
rectly without the intervention of a verb (2, 4, 5).
78. When a noun without the article is moditied by
an attributive adjective, the adjective regularly follows
the noun (4, 7). It is changed for emphasis.
79. When a noun with the article is modified by the
attributive adjective, the adjective always has an article
before it, and is said to be in the Attributive Position
(2.5,8).
a. Regularly the order is, as in English, article, adjective,
noun; but when the article with adjective follows the noun, the
noun may have another article before it : o ayaOb<; avOpcoTro^;,
dvdpoJTTO^ 6 ayaOoi^ 6 avOpcoiro^ 6 ayaOoi (8).
b. All attributive phrases regularly take the attributive po-
sition (10, 12).
80. The predicate adjective forms part of the pred-
icate, and is connected with its noun by a copula or an
equivalent verb (1, 0).
81. When a noun with the article is modified by a
predicate adjective, the adjective never has the article
before it, and is said to be in the Predicate Position,
that is, the adjective stands as it might with the copula
expressed or understood : 6 cti/^pcuTro? Q.ytXo9, a friend [Phil-ip, (fvv^ prep. w. dat., with, in

TRANSLITERATION. 3?
a. Observe that in transliterating,^ the consonants and vowels
are regularly represented by the Latin letters as given in the
alphabet (I.) ; that the diphthongs are represented as follows :
1. ai by ae ; eu by ^ or ^; oi by oe ; ov by u.
2. c subscript is omitted in transliteration.
6. Observe that a, o, av, ev are regularly unchanged, but the
terminations of the nouns, ac, 09, ov, and ot, etc., are altered to
suit the Latin declensions : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10.
1. 7 before 7, /c, ^, or f, becomes n (VL).

150. Contraction of Fowels, When an open vowel
is followed by a vowel or a diphthong in the same
word, the successive vowels are regularly contracted
into a single long vowel or diphthong : Tifxdcop, rificov;
fJLvdai, jxpal; TToke'L TrdXet.

151. Two Foivels.
1. An open and a close vowel form a diphthong
(IV.) : /SacrtXet, ySacrtXet, irokei, TrdXet, oto/xat, oto/xai.
2. Two vowels of a like sound unite to form the com-
mon long. But €€ gives ei, and 00 gives ov. Thus,
/xi^aa, fjiva ; 817X00;, St^Xw ; TTOLerjTov, iroirjTOv \ but,
ST^Xdo/xat, SrjXovfiai ; Troiierov, iroielTov.
3. An o sound (o or w) unites with a, e, or rj, to
form 0). But eo and oe give ov. Thus, Tlfidco, rl^oi ;
TTOteo), TTOtw ; ST^XoTyroz^, Sr]Xa>TOP ; but, Troieo/xe^', ttoi-
ovfxev ; jiLcrOoeTov, jjucOovtov.
4. When a or e (e or 7;) sounds come together, the
first in order prevails and gives d or 17. Thus, rl^deTov,
TLfxaTOv ; rlfJidrjTOVj TlfxaTov ; -^pvcrea, )(^pvcrrj \ yia, yrj-
152. Voivel and Biphtliong,

contracted with the first vowel of the diphthong, and
the second disappears, unless it can be retained as i

Observe that ovro^ takes ov in the penult wherever the last
syllable has an sound (151, 3) ; otherwise it takes av.
176. Decline oSe (6 + -Se), this., the following , as an

DEMONSTRATIVE AND RELATIVE PRONOUNS. 69
Observe that 6, being compounded with the enclitic -8e in oBe,
takes the accent in the nom. sing, and plur. (103, 4), and retains
its own throughout the other forms.
177. Decline e/cetj^o?, f/iat, with the endings of the
article (820):

article, or like aurd? (820) :

.X.
Observe that 0? differs from the article in appending 9 to
form the nom. masc. sing., and in taking an accent in its masc.
and fem. nom. forms as a word standing alone ; that in other
forms the relative is made from the article by writing the rougli
breathing C) in place of the initial r. Hence, to inflect the
relative, write the article with the rough breathing in place of 1,
appending -9 to form the nom. sing, masc, and accent all its
forms.
179. When the demonstrative pronoun agrees with
a noun (83), it regularly takes the article and stands in
the predicate position (81) : ovro9 6 dj/dpcoiro^; ; ravTrj's
T179 TrapoSov.
180. 0VT09 and oSe, this, generally refer to Avhat is
near or present ; iKeLvo<;, that, to what is remote.

ouro9 is used ; but in referring to what follows, o*8e.

before fxev and 8e, retains its demonstrative force : 6 fxep
... 6 Se, t/iis . . . t/iai, the one . . . the other, he . . . the
rest, etc. 6 8e without preceding 6 /xeV frequently
means but he, and he ; in the nominative this always

2. The consonants are divided farther according to
the greater or less influence of the organs in their for-
mation into : (a) Semi-vowels, X, /x, v, p, which are
called liquids, and cr, a sibilant ; /x, v, and y-nasal(VI.)
are called nasals ; (d) Mutes, the nine remaining conso-
nants as given above.
3. These nine mutes are divided, according to the
quality of voice in articulation, into smooth, middle, and
rough. Mutes of the same class are called cognate^
since they are formed by the same organs, — lips,
tongue, or palate. Mutes of the same order are called
co-ordinate.
Observe that in the dingram the classes of mutes stand in
parallel lines, and those of the same order in the same column.
igo. The double consonants are formed by the
coalescence of the mutes with the sibilant cr ; i/; from
TTO", f from fccr, ^ from So- (VIII., 2, n.).
igi. A rough consonant is never doubled, but 7r<^,
K\^ T0, are always written instead.

word are v, p, and q. The only exceptions are Ik and
ovK, or oux? which have other forms, ef and ov, — cf

a. Observe that : 1 . The future differs from the present in
adding a to the theme. 2. The aorist differs from the imperfect
in adding cr to the theme and a instead of %. in all forms except
in the third person sing. ; that it omits v of the first person sing.
3. The aorist active inf. takes the ending -at, and accents the
penult.
76 THE beginner's greek book.
h. Observe that the future and the aorist both have cr, but
the aorist as a secondary tense has an augment in the indicative;
that the second person sing, middle of the future and aorist
drop a and contract (27 ; 151, 3 ; \h%, a).
ig6. The future stem is formed by annexing the
tense suffix -(7%. to the theme. The personal endings
are primary.
197. The first aorist stem is formed by appending
the tense suffix -era to the theme. In the first person
singular v is dropped, and in the third a is changed to e.
As a secondary tense the aorist has augment and sec-
ondary endings in the indicative.
198. Most verbs ending in a short vowel lengthen
this vowel before the tense suffix in all tenses except the
present and imperfect.^ a and e become 17, o becomes

Examine the datives in 4, 5, 9, 11 (avro)), and observe that
they denote the person or thing for whose advantage, benefit,
etc., or disadvantage, harm, etc., something is or is done ; that
they are not closely connected with the verb like the indirect
object (QQ), which must always be expressed or implied, but are
merely added to sentences which would be complete without
them. Observe that this dative is generally translated by for.
Rule.
212. The person or thing for whose advantage or
disadvantage anything is or is done is put in the
dative.

PRESENT, FUTURE, AORIST PARTICIPLES,
ACTIVE AND MIDDLE.
Review 23, 196, 197; 208, a, b -, 217, 219, a-,
223.
228. The Participle is a verbal adjective which has
certain tenses and governs the same case as the verb to
which it belongs.
229. Examine the following :
Participles. ,
\vci)v (XvovT-), loosing (822).
Active. Middle.
1. I^res, \vo)v, -ovcra, -ov \v6ijl€po<;, -rj, -ov
\vovTo<;, -ovo-r]<;, -ovro^ (pass, uses the same
K. r. X. form as the mid.)

3. Aor, Xv(Td<;, -adcra -crav Xvcrdfxevo<;, -7), -ov
XvaavTO^;, -adcrr)^;, -cravro^
K.T. X.
a. Observe that the active participles form their stems by
annexing -vr to the tense stem of the verb (23) (perf. act. adds
-or) ; that the middle adds -/JLevo.
h. Observe that the participles in -09 belong to the vowel
declension^ and are declined like StJXo? (70;, 817); that the
PRESENT, FUTURE, AORIST PARTICIPLES. 89
masc. and neut. active participles belong to the consonant declen-
sion, as apxcov, dpxovTO^ (220); and that the nom. sing, of the
latter is formed according to 208, b, and that of the former ac-
cording to 217; that the feminine with ending -aa^ is of the
first declension, and is inflected like afxa^a (41, c, 2).
230. The participles in their inflection are accented
with the regular accentuation of nouns.
231. Decline ap^oiv, (jyevyojv, (l)ep(ov.
232. Decline wv, being, like Xvo^v : oiv^ oScraj ov {o>v,
pres. part, of verb elfjuu, be), (823).
233. Decline XvojJievo^, \vcrdfjLevo<;, 8iwfa/x€^09.
234. Attributive Fartici;ple.
Examine the following :
1 . 6 /Bao-iXevcov 'ApTa^€p^r)<;, the reigning ArtaxerxeSj
or Artaxerxes who is reigning.
2. a/x<^t ayopcLv irXijOovcrav, about the time of fall
market.
3. apxcov, a commander.
4. 6 dp-^oiv, the commander,
5. 6 (jiipcov Scopa, he tvho bears gifts.
6. ol he Sicj^avTe^ Ta^y inavovTOy those who loere
pursuing quicMy stopped.
a. Observe that in 1, 2, the participle is used like an adjec-
tive, and that it may be translated like a relative clause.
h. Observe that in 3, 4, 5, 6, the participle being used alone
or with the article, as an adjective in like situation, has the force
of a substantive, and is often best translated by he who or iho8e
who.
^ -aa is for -la {-vT-ia, -paa), r passing into a before i, and v then was
dropped and the preceding vowel lengtliened (194, 4).
90 THE beginner's GREEK BOOK.
Rule.
235. The attributive participle may be used like an
adjective, both in qualifying a noun and as a substan-
tive.
236. Circumstantial Participle,
Examine the following :
1. a, Tavra Xefa?, inopevero, having said these things
he adva7iced, or after he had said these things he advanced,
h. ravra Xeycov iiropeveTo, saying these things he
advanced.
c, iiropeveTo ravra Xefo/iei^og, he advanced about
to say these things, or to say these things,
2. ri^iov dSeX^09 o^v avTov, he asked because he was
his brother.
3. TO '^WrjvLKov T]0pOi^ev 0)9 fxaXiO'Ta iirLKpyTTTOfJie-
z^09, he tvas collecting his Greek force as secretly as
possible.
4. avTayopa^ovTes &Itov e(^a)v, they subsisted by pur-
chasing provisiojis in return.
5. riK^ (TTpaTevcroiJievo^, he came for the purpose oj
taking part in the expedition.
6. Tovf; opKov^ kv(ov, TTjv Slk7]v e)(€L, if hc broke his

was outside of the left loing of Cyrus.

PRESENT, FUTURE, AORIST PARTICIPLES. 91
9. crvXXefas arpauTevyua iiroXiopKei MiXrjTOT/, he col-
lected a7i army and laid siege to Miletus.
10. jxeTaTrejJLTroiJLevov avrov, ovk ideXo) ekdeiv^ ah
though he contirmes to send for me, I do not wish to go.
a. Observe that the tenses of the participle denote time pres-
ent, past, or future relatively to the time of the principal verb.
Thus, in 236, 1, «, he spoke before he advanced ; b, he ad-
vanced while speaking ; , he advanced before he spoke, or for
the purpose of speaking.
b. Observe that these participles add a circumstance con-
nected with the action of the leading verb : that they express
respectively time, cause, manner, means, purpose, condition
(translated by if), concession, and any attendant circumstance.^
c. Observe that in 1, ; 5, the future participle is regularly
used with verbs of motion, like the Latin supine in -um, to express
purpose.
• d. Observe that these participles are regularly translated by
a clause of time, cause, etc. ; that in 9, the participle is best
translated by a co-ordinate verb.
e. Observe that in 10, the participle agrees with a genitive
not connected with any word in the sentence, and forms a distinct
dependent clause with a change in the subject without introduc-
ing a finite verb and conjunction. This is called the genitive
absolute, corresponding to the ablative absolute in Latin. It
can denote any relations of the circumstantial participle, but it
may frequently be translated by a preposition and verbal noun.
Rule.
237. The tenses of the participle are regularly pres-
^ These indicate only the most common relations of the circumstantial
participles. They are classified by the predominant element, and the same
participle may belong to more than one class, as time, cause, concession.
92 THE beginner's greek book.
ent, past, or future relatively to the time of the principal
verb.^
Rule.
238. The circumstantial participle may define the
circumstances of an action.
Rule.
239. The circumstantial participle and a noun not
the same as the subject or object of the main verb, may
be put in the genitive absolute.

FUTURE AND AORIST OF LIQUID VERBS.
Review 151, 2, 3, 4; 152, a-, 153, 154, 2; 196,
197.
252. Verbs are called vowel (pure), mute, or liquid,
according as their themes end in a vowel, mute, or
liquid.
253. New themes are often formed by adding e to
the verb root. From this new theme some verbs form
the present tense stem, and the other tenses (or part of
them) from the root: So/ceco [80/c-], Sdfw, eSofa, etc.
Other verbs form their present from the simple theme
or root, and the other tenses (or part of them) from the
longer theme in c, and lengthen e as in simple vowel
verbs (198): iOeXco, iOekTJcrcj (ideXe-), o^eiko), o^ei-
XtJo'ci) {6(j>eLke-).
254. Some verbs in -ecu drop cr in the future, and
contract : KaXeco, Ka\a> (/caXecro)) ; reXelw, finish, TeKcj
(Tekia-o)). This form of the future is called Attic.
a. Observe that these verbs retain the sliort final vowel, the
former retains it in the fut. and aor., the latter throughout the
tenses.
255. Liquid verbs form their future by annexing
-€%. to the theme. They are then contracted like iroiiw,
FUTURE AND AORIST OF LIQUID VERBS.

a. Here -e%- is for an original -eo-%. ; the a is dropped
between two vowels (329, Obs. 4).
256. Liquid verbs form their aorist by rejecting cr
in -era and lengthening the theme vowel in compensa-
tion : a to 7^ (after t, or /o to a), € to et, t to I, v to v.

260. The agent with passive verbs is expressed by
the genitive with vtto.
Examine the accusatives in 7, 8, and note their relation to

Rule.
261. Any verb whose meaning permits may take an
accusative of kindred signification. This accusative de-
fines more definitely the predication contained in the
verb, and may follow both transitive and intransitive
verbs. It is called the cognate (or kindred) accusative.^
a. When a neuter adjective represents the cognate accusative,
its noun is implied in the verb (8).
h. With verbs of motion the cognate accusative expresses the
ground over which the motion passes (9, o^ov).
^ This is an adverbial use of tlie accusative.

306. In verbs beginning with a vowel or diphthong,
the reduplication takes the same form as the temporal
augment : 'qpcoTrjKa, yprjKa.
307. When the reduplicated perfect begins with a
consonant, the pluperfect as a secondary tense prefixes
the syllabic augment (113). Otherwise the pluperfect
retains the reduplication of the perfect unchanged : Xe-
XuKa, iKeXvKr] ; rjpcoTrJKrj ; iaTpdrevfJiai, iarpaTevfJirjv.
126 THE beginner's GREEK BOOK.
308. Compoimd verbs take the augment and redupli-
cation after the prepositions (135) : Karakvoi, halt, Kara-
XeXvKa, I have halted ; dir-ecnTaKa, I have separated.
309. The steal of the first perfect is formed by affix-
ing the tense suffix -/ca to the redupUcated theme : XeXi>-j
XeXv/ca.
a. A Hiigual mute is dropped before k : ireiOco (ttlO-), ire
ireiKa ; apird^co (apira^-), ijpTra/ca.
310. Some verbs have a second perfect formed by-
affixing -a to the redupUcated theme : ypdcjxD, yiypa^a.
If the theme ends in a labial or palatal mute, this is
sometimes aspirated before -a (plup. -y) or -ei) : dyco,
rjxoL* It has the inflection of the first perfect system
(351,4; 530, 544).
311. The perfect indicative represents an action as
completed at the present time : keXvKa, I have loosed,
312. The perfect, as a primary tense, has the regular
primary endings (28). The thematic vowel -a is changed
to -€ in the third person singular.
313. Conjugate the first perfect active of Xucu, Xe-
XvK-a, / have loosed; 0vo), redvKa; iroUoi, TreTroirjKa
(828).
314. The pluperfect indicative represents the action
as already completed at a given past time ; iXeXvKr), 1
had loosed.
a. The pluperfect calls attention to the completion or the
effect of the act; unless the attention is specially directed to
^his^ the aorist is regularly used,
TENSES DENOTING COMPLETED ACTION. 127
315. The pluperfect active changes the final -a of the
perfect stem to -e. In the singular -v is dropped and
-/ce appears as -kt), -ktj, -kel. In the third person plural
the ending -a-av is used instead of -v.
a. In all forms the thematic vowel -et may appear : -eiv^ -et?,
-et, etc.
316. Conjugate the first pluperfect active of Xvco,
iXeXvKrj, ikeXvK€Lv, I had loosed ; TroLeco, eTreiroLTJKr] ;
iparrdo), '^pojTrJKrj (828).
317. The stem of the perfect and pluperfect middle
is formed by reduplicating the verb theme, to which the
endings are directly affixed (286) : XeXvfiau, iXeXvfjirjp.
a. These tenses have the -fiL inflection.
318. The endings -crai and -cro of the perfect and
pluperfect middle are retained (27 ; Illy a, b).
a. Remember primary tenses have primary endings, and sec-
ondary, secondary endings (28, 116).
319. 1. Conjugate the perfect middle indicative of
Xvo), XeXvfJiaL ; TTopeijo), /BaaiXevo) ; alpeco, rjprjfjLav
(829).
2. Conjugate the pluperfect indicative middle of Xvco,
iXeXvfjLTjv, I had ransomed ; ^acriXevo), alpeo),
320. The stem of the future perfect is formed by
affixing -cr7e. to the stem of the perfect middle : XeXv,
XeXvcrofjiaL. It has the inflection of the future middle
(195). But a short final vowel is always lengthened
before -cro/iac.
128 • THE beginner's greek book.
a, A few verbs have a future perfect active formed from the
perfect stem : ia-Trj^co, I shall stand.
321. The future perfect indicative represents an ac-

Review 77, 79, a, b; 80, 81.
367. A noun in the genitive may define or limit the
meaning of another substantive. This is called the
Attributive Genitive.
368. The relations of the attributive genitive are
not expressed by the genitive alone, but implied by the

relations actually existing between the genitive and the
words upon which it depends. These are generally
translated by the possessive case in English, but may be
sometimes best translated by ofyfor.from^ etc.

genitive are the following :

quality, characteristic, etc. : ra Kvpov ^acriXeLa, the

COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES.
Review 73, 194, 1 ; 266, 344.
373- Verbal adjectives are formed from the verb
theme, usually as it appears in the aorist passive, by
affixing 'Teo<5 and •■to<;. The former corresponds to the
Latin gerundive ; TroiT^reo? (faciendus), that must be
done : the latter has regularly the force of the perfect
passive participle, 770117709 (factus), 9nade ; /xeraTTC/xTrro?
{i7r€fji(j>0r)v, aor.), summoned.
374. There are three degrees of comparison of
adjectives in Greek, — the positive, comparative, and
superlative.

Observe that the reflexives are formed from the stems of the
personal pronouns (390) compounded with the intensive auro? ;
that in the plural the two pronouns are declined separately in
the first and second persons, and sometimes in the third.
Examine the following :
1. d(j)L'mr€veL inl ttjv iavrov aKrjvTJp, he rides back
to his 010)1 quarters,
2. ore 6/oai tt)^ creavrov dpyy]v crojlflvTCLy I see that

3. Trap ayye Wet Tw 'ApLaTLmra) d7ro7re/x,i//at TTpo<; iav-
rov ro arpdrevfjia, he orders Aristippus to send the army
to him.
404. The reflexive pronouns regularly refer to the
subject of the clause in which they stand. But in a
dependent clause (3) they sometimes refer to the sub-
ject of the leading verb, and are then called indirect
reflexives (394).
405. The reciprocal pronoun is dXXTjXcov, of one an-
other, formed from aXXo? (163) compounded with itself,
dXk-rjko- (for aXX-aXXo).

407. The most common possessive pronouns are e/xd?,
7n?/, ao^, thy, rjixerepos, our, v/xerepo?, your. These
pronouns are formed from the stems of the personal pro-
nouns. They are declined like adjectives in -09 (70).
They have nearly the same force as \k\^ possessive geni-
tive of the personal pronouns, but are more definite,
especially with the article.

Examine the genitives in 'Z, 3 (TLa(ja(f)epvov^)y and note the
signification of the verbs upon which they depend.
Rule.
409. Many verbs take a genitive of the source.
a. Verbs of hearing, learning, etc._, may take an accusative
of the thing heard and genitive of the person heard from.
Examine the genitives in 5, 6, and note that they express the
point of departure or the idea of separation.
Rule.
410. The genitive is used to denote that from which
anything is separated or distinguished. Thus it follows
verbs signifying to remove, to restraiii, to release, to
cease, to fail, to differ, to he apart, etc.
Examine the genitives in 10, 11, and note that they express
cause.
Rule.
411. The genitive is used with verbs of emotion to
express cause.
Examine the genitive in 7 {aXKfov)^ and note the word upon

172 THE beginner's greek book.
431. The first three chapters of Xenophon's Anaba-
sis, divided into suitable portions, are introduced with
the following lessons. A few sentences, chiefly such as
contain matter irrelevant to the main narrative and rare
words, have been omitted. Sometimes a word or phrase
has been changed for a simpler form, but the text for
the most part has been retained intact. The meaning at
least has in no way been changed.* The selections are
introduced in the order of the narrative as the pupil
becomes prepared to understand their principal con-
structions. They may be omitted until the lessons have
been completed, and then taken with a review of the
lessons. But it is better that they be taken in order
with the lessons, and be read according to the directions
of 55, a, b ; 96, 1, 2, 3 ; 97, 1, 2, 3, 4 ; 107, p. IIS^.
The pupil should endeavor to recognize sentences that
have occurred in the preceding selections, and to apply
the rules of syntax to the new ones. With this in view,
rules especially applicable to each selection are given at
the beginning as a review, and such foot-notes as the
pupil should need have been added to aid him in apply-
ing the principles of syntax. The more analytical study
should be deferred to later reading. The meanings of
new words are given in special vocabularies ; but they
should be further studied in connection with the gen-
eral vocabulary.
432. THE STORY OF THE ANABASIS.
In 407 B. c. Cyrus the Younger, the second son of
Darius Nothus, king of Persia, was appointed by his
READING LESSON. 173
father satrap of Lydia, Pbrygia the Greater, and Cappa-
(locia. At this time he was only seventeen years of age,
but even then he aspired to the throne of his father, and
began to prepare, if need be, in the event of the accession
of his elder brother Artaxerxes to the throne, to wrest it
from him by force. When now, at the death of Darius
Artaxerxes became estabhshed in the kingdom, Cyrus
began to execute his plans; and accordingly in the spring
of 401 B. c. he set out from Sardis with a large army.
The first book of the Anabasis, the march upward,
tells the way in which Cyrus levied his Greek army of
over ten thousand, and the incidents of the journey
until they reached the plain of Cunaxa, about fifty miles
from Babylon, where the decisive battle took place. In
this battle the forces of Cyrus were victorious, but
Cyrus himself through his own rashness was slain, and
thus the purpose of the expedition was defeated.
The remaining books, which should be called the
" Catabasis," the march downward, gives an account of
the retreat of the ''Ten Thousand," among whom was
Xenophon, the historian of the enterprise, and of their
adventures until, in the spring of 399 b. c, in Asia
Minor they joined the army of Thibron.

^ The aorist in a subordinate clause, especially after temporal or rela-
tive words, as, eVet, ov, ore, etc., frequently has the force of the pluperfect

434. The interrogative pronoun rt?, tl, who, which,
what, takes the accent on the first syllable, and never
changes the acute to the grave (XIV.). The indefinite
ri9, Tt, some one, any one, a certain one, is distinguished
from the former by the accent, which it receives upon
the last syllable. This pronoun is enclitic (102).

xerxes happened to be by him ; but he summoned Cyrus
from the province of which he had made him satrap.
Cyrus accordingly went up with three hundred hoplites
of the Greeks. But when Darius had died and Arta-
xerxes had become king, Tissaphernes falsely accused
Cyrus to his brother, charging that he was plotting
against him. And he was convinced, and had Cyrus
arrested ; but his mother interceded for him, and sent
him back again to his province.

471. The Greek is developed from a small number
of primary elements. These, divested of everything
that is formative or accidental, are called roots. The
FORMATION OF WORDS. 195
root is properly of one syllable, with a short vowel, and
expresses the general meaning of a word. This may be
modified in various ways, and from the same root several
different words may be formed. Thus, apx^' begin,
dpxy], rule, dpxo^, leader, are all from the root and also
theme (apx")* '^^^^ themes of verbs or stems of nouns
thus formed may in turn be modified : as dp^aio^,
ancient, from (apx^) ^^^ ^^^v^ of apxi-
472. Simple and Compound Words.
A word is either simple or compound. A simple word
is formed from a single stem (133) ; as dKpo-<;, Idghest,
7rdXt-9, city. A compound word is formed by combin-
ing two or more stems ; as a/cpd-TroXt?, citadeL
473. Primitives and Denominatives.
A word formed directly from a root or theme of a
verb is called a primitive ; as dpx^, beginning, (apx-)-
A word formed directly from a stem of a noun or ad-
jective is called denominative ; as dp)(cuo<;, of the begin-
ning, ancient^ from (dpya) stem of dpxV'
474. Prefaces and Suffixes,
The formative elements by which the root is qualified
and new words formed are called affixes. An affix
placed before the principal root is called a prefix ;
placed after a principal root, a suffix.
475. Only the most important suffixes are here given.
These should be thoroughly committed to memory, and
regularly applied in acquiring the meaning of words.
Special exercises will be given in the following lessons
for the formation and grouping of words.
196 THE beginner's greek book.
Frhnitive Nouns,
476. Examine the following :
1 . (^vXarrw/ guard, [(^vXa/c-] ; (j)v\a^,^ a guard,
. 2. KrjpvTTOt), proclaim, [/cT^pv/c-] ; Krjpv^, a herald.
Observe that the noun stems in some words have no suffix ;
the root serves as the stem of the noun.
477. Examine the following :
1. ixau)(o ^xai, Jig ht, fia^', {jxa-^-d') fJioixV^ battle.
2. Tpiiro), turn, Tpeir-, {rpoTT-d-) TpoTTtj, turning,
8. " " (rpoTT-o-) TpoTTo^^ tum, manner.
4. (TTeWot), send, crreX-, (cttoX-o-) (tt6Xo<;, expedition.
Observe that the suffix annexed to the roots in 1,2 is length-
ened to 7] in the nom. sing. (40) ; that the suffix in 3, 4 is 0,
and 9 is added to form the nom. sing. (58) ; that when the suf-
fix is added in 3, 4, e of the root is changed to ; that the
suffixes -a and -0 regularly denote the ahstract idea of the
verb.^
478. Examine the following :
1. TTOteiw, make, iroie-, {TTOirj-rd-) 77011777^9, maker, poet.
2. KeXevo), comjnand, KeXev-, (/ceXev-crrd-) KekevdTrj^,

3. croitfiy, (Tcoco, save, (roi-, {crco-Tr) p-) awTTJp, savior.
4. rjyeojjiaL, lead, rjye-, [rjye-fjLOP-) TiyefKov, guide,
a. Observe that sometimes when the ending is added, the final
vowel of the root is lengthened, 1, (198); that a consonant is some-
1 See 378, 2. " 2 gee 208, a.
^ In general, the meanings of tlie suflSxes hold good ; but their distinc-
tion as forming primitives and denominatives is not always applicable, and
their meanings in the figurative use of words liave a wide range : as, ardXos
may mean what is sent on an expedition, army^ 7iavij, force, etc.
FORMATION OF WORDS. 197
times added, as in forming the perfect middle and aorist passive,
2, (325). The consonants most commonly added are v, p, a.
b. Observe that the suffixes -ra^ -Tr)p, and -fiov denote the

4. 8ea>, bind, he-, (8e-o--/x,o-) Secr/Ao?, binding, band,
5. Tta>, honor, tl-, (rl-/xd-) rlfjiTJ, worth, honor.
Observe that the final consonant of the root is subject to the
regular euphonic changes before a consonant of the ending, 1, 2,
8; that the suffixes -crt, -tl, -fio, and -(id denote action; but
sometimes, as -^d, 5, thej may express the abstract idea of the
verb.
480. Examine the following :
1. -^pdofiaL, use, xP^'j ixPV'H'^'^') XPVP'^^ thing of use,
2. TTpaTTO), do, irpdy-, {iTpdy-fxaT-) Trpdyjia, deed.

3. (TTpaTid, army, crrparia-, {(TTpaTLcorrd-) arpaTLco-
T7]^, soldier.
^ The pupil should explain the formation of the nom. sing, of each
noun in the lesson.
198 THE beginner's greek book.
Observe that : 1. The final vowel of the stem is sometimes
dropped before a suffix beginning with a vowel, 1. 2. The final
vowel of the stem may be changed, usually o to €, and a to o or
CO, 3. 3. The suffixes -ev and -rd denote the person with refer-
ence to his/unction.
482. 'Examine the following :
1. crot^og, wise, ao(j)0-, {cro^o-id-) aocj^id, icisdom.

351, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; 352, 353.
515. Each tense system is formed by some modifica-
tion of the theme of the verb (23). The present system
^ Heview questions upon the formation of words may be found in
Lesson LXV. (p. 308).
14
210 THE beginner's GREEK BOOK.
of most of the verbs thus far presented is formed by
adding the suffix %. to the theme : Xvcj, Trotew, Xeyco,
^evcj. Verbs that form their present stem in this man-
ner belong to the Variable Vowel or First Class.
516. In respect to the formation of the present stem
from the theme, verbs are divided into seven classes.
For convenience a few verbs forming their tense stems
from essentially different themes are put by themselves
as an eighth class.
517. The First Class is the most numerous of all the
classes. Most of the verbs of this class are regular, i. e.
they are formed according to the general rules for form-
ing the tense systems, but they may at the same time
be defective, or lack some of the principal parts (352,
353).
518. Conjugate the present system, in the forms thus
far presented, of Xvco, Xeyco, TToieco, TL[jLdo). Explain the
endings -&>, -et?, -et in the act. ind. sing.
519. Give the principal parts of the following verbs :
aireiw, alTrjcrcOy etc. ; St^Xow, St^Xwctw ; iroLecoj TroLrjaco ;
neipda), iravo), /8ov\eva>, Orjpevcoy TratSevw.
520. In some vowel verbs the final stem vowel is
variable in quantity, remaining short in some of the
forms, and lengthened in others.^
1. 0v(o, sacrifice, Ovcrco^ eOvcra, reOvKa, reOvfiac,
irvOrjv,
2. Xvcoy loose, Xvcro), eXvcra, XeXvKa, XeXvfJbaiy eXvOrjv,

a- and contracting (254).
b. The theme Koke- of KaXeco becomes nXe- by syncopation
(p. 142^), and appears as kXt]- in the last three principal parts.
521. Vowel verbs tbat retain the sbort vowel, and a
few others, add a to the theme in the perfect and
pluperfect middle and passive and in the first passive
system (325, 344).

theme in e and the rest of the tenses on a shorter theme
without €: So/ceo)^ {hoK€-, 253), 8dfw, etc. But gener-
ally the present is formed on the shorter theme, and the
other tenses or part of them, except the second tense
system (352), on a longer theme in e (198).

530. The second tenses (352) differ from the corre-
sponding first tenses in form, but regularly have like
meaning. When, however, both tenses appear in the
same verb, they often differ also in meaning ; but they
appear only in a few verbs.
531. The stem of the second aorist system is formed
by affixing the variable vowel %. to the theme. Its
tense sign is the short theme vowel :

a. Observe that the perfects of these verbs are regularly
formed by adding the tense suffix -a directly to tiie theme ;
.that some verbs in forming the perfect, as djco and Slcoko),
aspirate their final mute.
b. Observe that the stem vowel e becomes o ; that verbs of
the second class have the strong form of theme vowel, but have
oL instead of et.
543. These are called second perfects (310), and they
have the same force as the first perfects with the tense
sign -fca.
FIRST AND SECOND PERFECT SYSTEMS. 219
544. The stem of the second perfect system is formed
by affixing the tense suffix -a (phipf. --q or -eu) to the re-
duplicated theme. But some verbs aspirate a labial or
palatal mute at the end of the theme, changing tt, /8, to
<^, and fc, y, to ^. It has the inflection of the first per-
fect system (310).
545. Jtlic Reduplication. Some verbs beginning
with a, €, o, followed by a single consonant, reduplicate
the perfect and pluperfect by prefixing their first two
letters ; the second vowel of the resulting form is then
regularly lengthened as in the temporal augment : a/o^-
/coa \aKov(ii {oLKOf-, dKov-)~\.

1, firj TTOLTjcrcD TovTo \ skall I not do this ?
2. ySouXet ovv TavTa oLTrayyeWcofjLev ; do you wiah
then that we should announce this ?
Observe that these questions do not ask for information, but
imply doubt and hesitation about the course to be pursued.
Rule.
561. The first person of the subjunctive may be
used in questions of appeal, expressing douht and hesi-
tation concerning the course to be pursued.^
a. The question is sometimes introduced by l3ov\eL or ySov-
XeaOe.
b. The third person is sometimes found in these questions,
chiefly with rh.
c. Why does this subjunctive take ^it) ? (422).
562. Optative of Wishing^.
Examine the following :
1. Toiaura rov^ l^Bpov^ ot ^eol iroLTJcreLap, may the

564. Potential Optative,
1. ovS* avTov aTTOKTeivai av ideXoLfjievj nor would we
ivish to kill him.
■ ^ Generally it expresses necessity of action in submission to some com-
mand or power. It is often called the interrogative subjunctive.
15
226 THE beginner's greek book.
2. o7ra>9 ri? av a7ro(f>evyoL ; kow could one make Ids
escape ?
Observe that the optative with av expresses willingness to
admit a consequence in view of some circumstances as in 1, if we
could, if we should have the power, etc. ; but too vague to be defi-
nitely expressed, and therefore this optative expresses future
action as possible or less j)ositively than the indicative.
Rule.
565. The optative with av expresses future action
as dependent upon circumstances or conditions, and is
translated with may, can, might, could, would, should,
etc. Its negative is ov.
a. Why does the potential optative take ov ?
566. av is a post-positive particle without any corre-
sponding word in English. Tt has a conditional force.
Plere it shows that the predicate Avith which it is placed
is conceived only under certain conditions expressed or
implied, av regularly stands after the verb, but it may
attach itself to any prominent or emphatic word relat-
ing to the contingency.
567. Tenses of the Subjunctive and Optative.
The subjunctive expressing contingency regularly re-
fers to the future. The optative also refers to the future,
but generally with reference to an historical tense.^ In
both subjunctive and optative the tenses chiefly used are
the present and aorist. The time of both is precisely
^ The optative then will regularly denote more remoteness or less prob-
ability than the subjunctive.
SUBJUNCTIVE AND OPTATIVE ACTIVE OF G) VERBS. 227
the same, but the present expresses the action as con-
tinued and the aorist as a simple occurrence. The
perfect subjunctive and optative are rarely used, and
express the action as simply completed. The subjunc-
tive has no future. The future optative is never used
except as the representative of the future indicative in
indirect discourse^ (768).
568. Give the difference in the use of the present
and aorist tenses of the dependent moods not in indirect

"/^. as in (o verbs. (553, obs. 2) ; that w is for eco from eV-oj ; a
is dropped as in 329, obs. 4, and the two remaining syllables are
contracted (151, 3 ; 288).
b. Observe that the optative has the mood suffix -ir} (554,

574. The mood suffix -it; is used only before active
endings ; after -117 the first person singular is always -v.

617. Verbs in /xt form their present and second
aorist systems, and in a few verbs the second perfect,
by adding the personal endings directly to the theme,
omitting the variable vowel except in the subjunctive.
Tenses thus inflected are called /xi forms. In other
tenses verbs in /xt are inflected like verbs in w.
618. Monosyllabic themes are often reduplicated :

«. The dual and plural of the present and second aorist
optative of the regular [jll forms may be contracted : laralrov,
etc. (573).
b. Observe that : 1. The final vowel of the theme is lengthened
in the singular of the present and imperfect indicative active,
and in all forms of the second aorist before a single consonant,
or wherever the ending is lacking. 2. In the present singular
indicative the endings -fit, and -<7t are retained, and the third
person plural ends in -den contracted to da-t} 3. The third
person plural of the secondary tenses has -aav (116, 300, 573).
c. Observe that : 1. The subjunctive has the long variable
vowel "/^. as in the verbs in a) (553, obs.*), but contracted
with the theme. 2. The contracted forms arise as if from a
theme in e {lare-^ are- which appear in Ionic), (151, 2, 3).
d. Observe that : 1. The mood suffix of the optative is -irj
before the active endings (elsewhere -t) (574). 2. The second
aorist system differs from the present mainly in rejecting the
reduplication 2 (531).
e. Observe that the present imperative Xarrj omits -Oi and
lengthens the stem vowel; that 6l is retained in the second
aorist.
^ -aai is not contracted with other vowels of the theme.
2 Let the pupil form the second aorist from the present system by re-
jecting the reduplication, etc.

is not lengthened. 2. The mood suffix of the optative is -t-

tracted form takes the accent. 3. In other respects the middle
differs from the active in having the middle endings ; cr in the
endings -crat and -ao is retained in the indicative and imperative
(27, 318), but dropped in the subjunctive and optative.

LESSON LVIII.
CONDITIONAL SENTENCES.
Review 236, 6 ; 422, 563, 565, 566.
661. Conditional sentences consist of two parts : the
one, introduced by et, if, states the case or condition ;
the other states what follows under a certain condition.
The former, which usually precedes, is a dependent
clause, and is called the protasis ; ^ the latter is the main
clause, and is called the apodosis?
662. Present and Past Suppositions implying NotJiing
as to the Fulfilment of Condition.
Examine the following :
1. '€t vfjiei^; iOeXere i^opfxav, eTrecrOaiyiJUv ySovXo/xat,
ifgou wish to set out, I am ready to follow you.
2. €t 8e jLtTyrt? /SeXrtoz^ opa, X€ipLO'0(j)os rjyoLTO, hut
if any one does not see a better plan, let Chirisophus lead.
^ wpoTaa-is (nporeivco), a pitting before, a proposal.
^ aTrddoais (aTroSiSco/ii), a giving in return.
CONDITIONAL SENTENCES. 269
3. ei T15 eKCxikvev, ovk rjv elcrekOeiv, if there was any
hindrance J it was not possible to enter,
a. Observe that in all of these conditions the protasis is intro-
duced by et, if J and takes the indicative ; that it states a particu-
lar supposed case in the present or past simply as a fact without
implying any judgment as to its fulfilment ; and that the apod-
osis takes any form of the verb to express what may follow if
the fact be granted.
. b. Observe that the negative of the assumed case is fir}^ and
that the negative of the apodosis, when it asserts a consequence
of the admitted reality of the protasis,, is ov (422).
Present and Past Suppositions with Nothing implied,
— Simple Particular Supjpositions,
Rule.
663. When the protasis simply states a present or
past particular supposition, implying nothing as to the
fulfilment of the condition, it has the indicative with ct.
The apodosis may take any form of verb, but generally
the indicative.
664. The negative of the protasis is regularly jutif,
that of the apodosis is ov.
665. Potential Indicative.
Examine the following :
1. iiroLiqa-e raGra, he did this.
2. €770 LT] ere av raura, he would have done this.
Observe that : 1. In 1, the indicative asserts the action. 2. In
2, the past indicative with av (566) states the action as depen-
dent upon some unfulfilled past circumstances or conditions, i. e.
what would have happened if the conditions had been fulfilled.
270 THE beoinnee's greek book.
Rule.
666. The past tenses of the indicative with av ex-
press a past action as dependent on past circumstances
or conditions. The negative is ov.
667. Present and Past Conditions with Suppositions
contrary to Fact.
Examine the following :
1. iiroLyjcre av ravra, el avTov cfceXevcra, he would
have done this, if I had commanded him.
2. el yLT) vjJLei^; rfkOere, eiropevofieda av tt/do? ^acnXea^
if you had not come, we would be marching against the
king.
3. iiroLei av Tavra, el avrov iKeXevov, he loould he
doing this, if I were commanding him.
a. Observe that in 1, the unfulfilled condition is expressed as
part of the sentence dependent upon iiroirja-e av as the apodosis
which still expresses, like the potential indicative, what would
have happened if the unreal condition had been fulfilled, i. e. the
action did not happen because the condition was not fulfilled.
b. Observe that when the protasis having the past tenses of
the indicative is intended to imply non-fulfilment of condition,
the adverb av is added to the past tenses of the indicative in the
apodosis.
c. Observe that since the condition is contrary to fact, or
implies that the protasis is not or was not fulfilled, past tenses of
the indicative must be used in both protasis and apodosis ; that
the imperfect refers to the present as in 2, 3, the aorist to a sim-
ple occurrence in past time, and the pluperfect (rare) to an act
completed in the past or present.
CONDITIONAL SENTENCES. 271
Present and Fast Conditions with Suppositions con-
trary to Fact,
Rule.
668. When the protasis states a present or past sup-
position implying that the condition is not or loas not
fulfilled, it has the past tenses of the indicative with et,
and the apodosis the past tenses of the indicative
with av.
The imperfect here refers to the present time, or to
an act as going on or repeated in past time, and the
aorist to an act as simply occurring in past time.
Wishes contrary to Fact.
669. When a wish refers to the present or past, im-
plying that its object is not or was not attainedy it is
expressed by the secondary tenses of the indicative with
eWe or el yap : ct^e rovro fxr) eTronycra, that I had
not done this.
670. In wishes unattained the tenses and moods are
distinguished as in conditions contrary to fact.
671. The negative in all wishes is ^iri (422).

673. VOCABULARY.
rom
d-6i}fio, Troiew, and Br]\6o) (843, 844, 845).
a. Observe that o-ei and 0-77 contract to ot (152, d).
h. Observe that in the active these verbs generally have -it]
(574) as mood sign of the optative.
677. The adverb av is regularly joined to et in the
protasis when the verb is in the subjunctive ; d with av
forms eaj/, 171/, or oju (692).
678. In animated language the aorist is used in the
sense of the present. This is called the gnomic aorist^
and is naturally translated by the English present.
679. The imperfect and aorist are sometimes used
with the adverb av to denote a customary action (680).
680. Particular and General Conditio7is.
Conditional sentences are either jj articular or general.
In a particular supposition (663), the protasis refers to
a definite act or acts occurring at a defi7iite time.
In a general supposition, the protasis refers indefi-
nitely to any one of a given series of acts occurring
at any time, and the apodosis expresses an habitual or
repeated action or a general truth.
a. This distinction of suppositions as particular and general
may be seen in all classes of conditional sentences, but it is only
in the first class (662) that the distinction is represented by the
form of the sentence.
Examine the following :
1. ka,v TO) VTr6(T\7)Tai tl, ovitotc xjjevSeraty if (ever) he
makes a promise to any one, he never breaks his word.
SUBJUNCTIVE AND OPTATIVE OF CONTRACT VERBS. 275
2. el rep VTTocrxoLTo tl, ovirore ixjievSerOy if [eve?') lie
made a promise to any one, he never broke his word.
P a. Observe that : 1. The protasis implies the occasional or
repeated fulfilment of the condition, and the apodosis states what
happens if the supposition ever is fulfilled. 2. The protasis
takes the subjunctive with idvj and the apodosis has the present
indicative.
b. Observe that when the apodosis as in 2, denotes a con-
tinued or repeated act in the past, the protasis following the
sequence of moods (578), has the optative with et, and the
apodosis states then what did happen if ever the supposition was
fulfilled.
Present and Past General Suppositions.
Rule.
681. When a protasis states a present or past suppo-
sition implying the occasional or repeated fiilfilinent of
the condition, it has the subjunctive with idv after the
present indicative in the apodosis, and the optative with
€t after the imperfect indicative in the apodosis.
a. In the apodoses of general conditions, any form denoting
present or past repetition may be used. Thus, for the present
the gnomic aorist may be used ; for the imperfect, the imperfect
and aorist with dv (679) frequently occur, and sometimes the
simple aorist with ^ often,"* ^ never/ etc.
682. The subjunctive in general conditions never
refers distinctly to the future, but expressing indefinite
frequency, assumes the fulfilment of the condition at any
time.

6gg. Relative and Temporal Clauses.
Relative clauses may be introduced by relative pro-
nouns or by relative adverbs of time, place, or manner.
They include in their construction temporal clauses.

700. A relative clause with a definite antecedent
takes the indicative or any other construction that could
occur in a simple sentence. Its negative is ov (183, 1,
2, 8; 184).
701. A relative clause with an indefinite antecedent
(general or not yet determined) has the force of a prota-
sis of a conditional sentence, and is called a conditional
relative clause. Its negative therefore is ixrj.
702. Examine the following :
1. oTco SoKel TavTa, Xefarw, to whomsoever these things
seein best, let him speak (= d tivk Sofcet ravra, Xe^aTO),

a. Observe that a conditional relative clause is introduced by
a relative or relative adverb instead of the particle el, if; that in
other respects they are like the ordinary conditions, the antecedent
clause forming the apodosis.
b. Observe that dv is attached to the relative word (692);
that these clauses can usually be changed to the ordinary condi-
tions by resolving the relative word or the same with dv, into the
conjunction el or idp with rt?, l,2i,S, 4, etc.
Rule.
703. A relative clause with an indefinite antecedent
has a conditional force, and may take the form of any
of the ordinary conditions (661 fF.), of which the antece-
dent clause is the apodosis.
704. Temporal clauses with ew?, ecrre, fJi€xph ^XP'"

286 THE beginner's greek book.
a. Observe that av is attached to the particle as in 692.
b. Observe that when €(o^, eVre, fie'^^^pi, etc.^ as long as^
while, or until, \, 2, refer to a definite time- present or past, tliey
take the indicative -, that when they refer to an indefinite time,
they take the construction of conditional relatives in general con-
ditions, conditions contrary to fact (rare), and future conditions,
3, 4, 5.
Rule.
705. When €0)9, ecrre, ^^XP^-^ ^XPh ^^ ^ong as, until,
refer to a definite time, they take the indicative ; other-
wise they follow the constructions of conditional relatives
(703), in general conditions, conditions contrary to fact,
and future conditions.
706. Temporal clauses tvith irpCv, before, until.
Examine the following :
1. hie^iqcrav npiv rov^ ak\ov<; aTTOKpivacrO ai, they

2. ovre ravra iTToiovv irpiv Kkiap^o^ '^k€, nor did

RELATIVE AND TEMPORAL SENTENCES. 287
a. Observe that in 1, Trpiv, before, deijending upon an aflir-
rnative sentence expresses a simple temporal relation^ and takes
the infinitive.
b. Observe that in %, 3, 4, 5, irpiv, until, before, depending
upon a negative sentence, expresses a limit of time like eo)?, and
takes the same constructions (705).
c. Observe that hi 4., b, irporepov and irpoadev precede irpCv
in the leading clause, but are superfluous in English.
Rule.
707. irpiv regularly takes the infinitive when the
leading verb is affirmative ; and the constructions of ew?
when the leading verb is negative or implies a negative.
a. TTpLv or TTplv Yj is often preceded by irporepov or irpoadev
in the leading clause.

LESSON LXII.
IRREGULAR VERBS IN /xt. — SUBSTITUTIONS
FOR CONDITIONS. — RELATIVE CLAUSES
OF PURPOSE, CAUSE, AND RESULT.
Review 103, 1, 2, 3, 4; 104, 1, 2; 117, 118, 119,
120, 121, 236, 2, 5, 6; 287, 289, 300, 324, 573, 579.
617, 619, 661.
712. Irregular verbs in fxi follow the analogy of the
regular verbs in fjui in the present and second aorist
systems (617), but are more or less irregular in forma-
tion. Most of them, however, lack the second aorist
system entirely.
713. Conjugate elfXL (859).
a. elvac is for ia-vac ; wz/ for iaoav,
714. Conjugate <^i7/xt [(^a-], sai/ (858). •
a. Note that it is inflected in the main like LaTrjfjLi (619).
d. All the forms of the present indicative are enclitic, except
715. Substitution for Conditions,
The place of a protasis may be supplied by a partici-
ple (236, 6), by a preposition and its case, or implied
in an adverb or some other form of expression (711, n. 5,
end). When a participle takes the place of the protasis,
its tense is always the same as that which the verb itself
292 THE beginner's greek book.
would have had in the indicative, subjunctive, or opta-
tive. The present includes the imperfect. E. g.

I should remain with you) / should be honored, hut being
separated from you (et . . . euriv, if I should be^ etc.) /
should not be able to assist a friend.
716. Belative clauses expressing Purpose,
The relative with the future indicative may express a
purpose. Its negative is /xiy. E. g.
riyefiova alrel Kvpov octti^ Sta <^tXta5 TTJq -^copa<;
aTrd^eiy he asks Cyrus for a guide who will lead them
back (to lead back) through a friendly country,
a. After verbs of motion purpose is regularly expressed bj
the future participle (236^ 5).
717. Causal Clauses.
Clauses denoting cause or reason are regularly ex-
pressed by the conjunctions with the indicative after
both primary and secondary tenses. The most common
causal conjunctions are on, cu?, because ; iirei, eVetSif,
&r€, oTTOTe, since. The negative is ov. E. g.
firj OavjxdleTe otl ^aXcTrwg (fyepco toI<; irapovci Trpdy
fxa(TLv, do not wonder because I am greatly distressed on
account of the present affairs.
a. For causes expressing another's reason, see (788).
h. Cause is frequently expressed by the participle (236, 2).
718. Clauses of Result with cjcrre.
Examine the following :
RELATIVE CLAUSES OF PURPOSE, CAUS*E; ETC. 293
1. e)^cu yap Tpn]pei<^ cjcrTe iXeuv to eKeivcov irXoiov^for
1 have triremes, (so as to take) so that lean take their boat.

crtXev? TTjv iiev Trpos iavTov iTn^ovXrjp ovk rjcrOdveTO,
and his mother ivas co-operating with him in this, so that
the king did not become aware of the plot against himself.
Observe that: 1. The infinitive is used with wcrre to express
the result as one which the action of the leading verb tends to
produce ; that (ocrTe here is regularly translated so as. 2. The
indicative is used with ware to express the result as one that the
action of the leading verb does really produce or states it as a
fact, and hence its negative is ov.
Rule.
719. wcrre, so that, so as, with the infinitive ex-
presses the result as one which the action of the leading
verb tends to produce, with the indicative as one which
that action really does produce.
a. In Greek the result clause never has the subjunctive.
720. Indirect Discourse.
A direct quotation gives the exact words of the origi-
nal speaker or writer; as, The king will come at dawn.
In an indirect quotation or question, the original words
conform to* the construction of the sentence in which
they are quoted ; as, He said that the king would come
at dawn (cf. 267, 5).
721. As a verbal neuter noun, the infinitive may be
the subject or object of a verb ; it is qualified by
adverbs, and not by adjectives.
294 THE beginner's greek book.
1. As subject, the infinitive is used chiefly with im-
personal verbs ; as XPV> ^^h ^^ ^^ necessary, or with iarl
(117, 1; 118).
2. As object, the infinitive is used chiefly with verbs
whose action implies another action as its object (119).
3. With the article the infinitive becomes more dis-
tinctly a noun, and it may be used in either of the above
relations, or may depend upon a preposition, or stand
in most constructions belonging to nouns : i. e. r^p^av
Tov Sia^aLpeup (648, N. 2).
722. The infinitive in indirect discourse is used as
the object of verbs of saying or thinkiny^ or equivalent
expressions, and represents an indicative or optative of
the direct discourse.
Examine the following :
1. ol crrpartwrai KareKOTrrjcrav viro tcov KlXlkcov, the
soldiers ivere cut doivn by the Cilicians.
2. i(f)a(Tav Tov<; aTpariajTa^ KaraKOTrrjvaL viro tojv

a. Observe that in 1, 3, 5, 7, the words of the original
speaker are given ; that in 2. 4^ 6, 8, the sentences represent
the words of the original speaker changed to conform to the con-
struction of the verb upon which they depend (720).
b. Observe that in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, tlie infinitives depending
upon a verb of saying^ thinking , etc., represent the verbs of the
direct discourse, and their tenses the corresponding tenses of the
finite moods, the present including the imperfect, and the perfect
the pluperfect.
c. Observe that the leading verb of tlie complex sentence in
9, is changed to the same tense of the infinitive in indirect dis-
course ; that after a secondary tense the verbs of the subordinate
clauses are changed to the optative (578).
d. Observe that civ qualifying the main verb of the direct is
retained in the indirect 7, 8, but av attached to the particle is

dropped when the subjunctive is changed to the optative in the
indirect 9, 10.
e. Observe that indirect discourse frequently involves a
change of person, chiefly of the first and second to the third,
3, 4/ 9, 10.
y*. Observe that in 12, Xeyerat may take the personal con-
struction for the impersonal (246, 247).
Rule.
723. 1. The infinitive in indirect discourse is used
as the object of verbs of sayincj or ihinMng, or equiv-
alent expressions.^ Here each tense of the infinitive
represents the tense of the leading verb which would be
used in the direct form, the present and perfect includ-
ing the imperfect and pluperfect. If the original had
avy the infinitive retains it.
2. The negative ov of the finite verb is regularly
retained in the indirect, but it is sometimes changed to
\Lri, the regular negative of the infinitive.
3. After primary tenses, dependent verbs in indirect
discourse retain the same mood and tense; after sec-
ondary tenses, they may be either changed to the same
tense of the optative or retained in the original mood and
tense (579, a)\ but dependent secondary tenses^ of the
indicative remain unchanged.-
^ In indirect discourse the subject of the sentence (6) seems to be put
in the accusative as the grammatical object of the reporting verb, while the
verb of the predicate is changed to the corresponding tense of the infinitive
as a verbal noun, and the construction assumes the form of two accusatives
after the same verb (268).
2 Nouns denoting hope^ thought, e^notion, combinations of words ex-
pressing thought, etc.
^ If these were changed they might be caefounded with the subjunctive.
RELATIVE CLAUSES OF PURPOSE, CAUSE, ETC. 297
a. When a subjunctive becomes optative av is dropped.
724. Verbs of hoping, expecting , promiHing , etc., allow
either the object infinitive or the infinitive in indirect
discourse. Bat in the latter construction the future
infinitive is more common.
725. Xeyw, especially in the passive ; So/ceiw, seems ;
and a few^ others, while allowing either the personal or
impersonal construction, are regularly used personally.

Review 531, obs.; 619, a, d; 630,631,632,633,712.
736. Some verbs of the Pifth or Nasal Class form
the present stem by adding to the theme -w, or after a
vowel -ppv. Most of these verbs end in ^t.'
Examine the following :
1 . heiKvvixi [8et/c-] , point out, shoio, SeC^o), iSet^a.
2. t^evyvvyii [t,yy-~\? join^ yoke, Ij^v^co^ e^evfa.

737. Conjugate ^eiKvv^i in the present system (850).
Observe that in the present system of verbs in vvjjh, the end-
ings are added to the present stem, and not to the theme as in
617, 619 ; BeL/cvvfjLL, 8e/7CW9, etc.
b. Observe that the subjnnctive and optative are formed as in
-ft) verbs (553, 554) ; heiKvixo^ SeiKvvotfjLL^ etc.
c. Observe that the present imperative rejects -0i and length-
ens the final vowel of the theme, heUvv, etc.
738. SeLKvufjiL has no second aorists. iSvy, the sec-
ond aorist of Svco, enter, is here presented for inflection
(854):
1 These are sometimes called the second class of -\ii verbs.
2 The theme is lengthened as in the second class (527, 535).

PERFECT MIDDLE SYSTEM OF CONSONANT
THEMES. — PERIPHRASTIC FORMS.
Review 189, 1, 2, 3, obs. ; 190, 191, 192, 193, 194,
1, 2, 3, 4; Lesson XXIX., noting 325; 521, 545, 574,
650, 697.
757. Conjugate the perfect middle system of the
following (836, 837, 838, 839, 840, 841): kcXcvo),
PERFECT MIDDLE SYSTEM OF CONSONANT THEMES. 319
KeKekeva-jxaL ; XeiVw, XekeififiaL ; TaTTco, TerayfJiaL ;
TTeWo}, TreVetcr/xat ; dyyeXko), ^yyeX/xai ; (j)aLvojy ttc-
(JyacrfxaL ; Kpivo), KeKpifiai, KeKpuaai, etc.
Observe that : 1. The rules for euphony of consonants (194,
etc.) apply to the concurrence of the consonants of the stem and
endings; cr is dropped between two consonants (325, end).
2. The third person plural of the perfect and pluperfect indica-
tive are formed respectively by the perfect participle and elac
and '^(rav ^ (325). 3. When a liquid verb drops v iu its per-
fect middle system, it is inflected like a vowel verb ; but when
V of the stem is not dropped it becomes cr before /jl, and is
retained before all other endings, wecfyao-fiai, etc.
758. The perfect subjunctive and optative active are
more frequently formed by the perfect active participle
with CO and etrjp than by the forms in co and ot/xt of
the paradigms (553, 554); as, XeXvAcwg c3, XeXvKcos
a. In a similar way the perfect and pluperfect indicative
active are sometimes expressed by tlie perfect active participle
and eliil; as, eKireinaiKOTe^; rjcrav (325, end). The future per-
fect active of most verbs is expressed by the perfect participle
and eao/jLai.
759. Periphrastic Fniiire.
A periphrastic future is formed by the verb fieWco,
intend, he on the point of, and the present or future (or,
rarely, the aorist) infinitive to express the future act as
immediately intended or expected: fieWoj rjKeiv, I in'
tend to coine.
1 The third plural is sometimes found in -arat and -aro.
320 THE beginner's greek book.
760. The agent with the perfect and pluperfect passive
is sometimes expressed by the dative : ttolvS' rjfuv irape-
(TKevao-raL, all things have been prepared hy us (p. ISO^).
761. Conjugate 1. The first perfect system of \toi,

775. Participles in Indirect Discourse,
Examine the following :
1. Kvpo? eV KikiKia rjv, Cyrus was in Cilicia.
2. rjKovcre Kvpoi^ iv KiXiKua ovra, he heard that

3. Ku/309 redprjKevy Cy^nis is dead.

a. Observe that in 2, 4, Q, 7, etc., the verbs take the parti-
ciple in indirect discourse.
PARTICIPLES IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE. 331
h. Observe that the participle in indirect discourse represents
the corresponding tense of the direct ; that it is put in the accu-
sative agreeing with the object of a verb (sometimes called the
subject of the participle) to express a fact.
G. Observe that this participle must be distinguished from the
participle after verbs of perceiving, finding, etc. (244)^ as in 5,
which represents the actual perception of the action by the
senses ; that here verbs of- hearing take the participle in the
genitive.
d. Observe that when the object of the verb is the same as
the subject, the participle is attracted to the case of the sub-
ject, 7.
e. Observe that in 8, with avvoiha and the dative of the re-
flexive pronoun, the participle may be either in the nominative
or dative.
f. Observe that in 9, with 897X09 diii^ av€p6<; elfjLi, the
participle is used personally (247) in indirect discourse, similar
to the personal construction with Xeyerat (725).
Rule.
776. With many verbs of perceiving, hearing, Jcnow-
ing, and ayyiWo), announce, the participle stands in
indirect discourse, and conforms to the rules of the in-
finitive (723, 1, 2) in regard to the tenses, the uses of av,
and the negatives.
777. With verbs and phrases of appearing and show-
ing, such as (j)aLV(o, c^atVo/xat, 817X09 elfxi, and ^avep6<;
elfjii, etc., the participle may be used personally in indi-
rect discourse.
778. Most of these verbs may also take a clause with
oTt or COS in indirect discourse, or the infinitive ; but
332 THE beginner's greek book.
with the latter there is usually a distinction of meaning :
the participle regularly denotes a fact (775, b).
a. ol8a and eiriara^aL with the participle mean know that,
with the infinitive, hiow how ; as, dpxeo-Oac eTrCaTafiai, I know
how to be ruled (771, 12).
779 . Predicate referring to the omitted Subject of an
Infinitive.
Examine the following :
1. Set v/xa? elt'ai aya^ov?, 7/oii must be brave,
2. irreOvfieL yeveadai avrjp, he desired to become a
man.
3. irapayyeWei rco KXedp^oy Xa^ovn yJKeuv oaov rjv
avT^ (TTpdTeviia, he ordered Clear chus to come uith ivhat-
ever army he had.
Rule.
780. 1. When the subject of an infinitive is omitted
because it is the same as the subject of the leading verb
(121), predicate nouns and adjectives are assimilated to
the preceding nominative.
2. When the subject of an infinitive is omitted be-
cause it is the same as the object of the leading verb,
predicate nouns and adjectives are generally assimilated
to the case of this object (121), but sometimes stand in
the accusative agreeing with the omitted subject (728,
§ 1, N. 8; 765, N. 6).
*
a. These principles apply also to a predicate with wv, or with
a participle of a copulative verb (775, 7, 8).

other river must be crossed {is to be c?'ossed) by us.
2. r^ikiv §€ Trdvra TrotT^rea, but everything must be done

3. avrot? ireiaTeov iaTL tco KXeap^w, they must obey
Clearchus (equivalent to avTovs Set ireideaOaL tco KXe-
oipxcp). Cf. eis parendum est Clearcho.
a. Observe that : 1. The verbal adjective in reo^, \, 2^ is
used personally in agreement with the subject of the sentence,
like any predicate adjective. 2. The copula elfjii is often omitted
as in 2. 3. This verbal has the force of the Latin participle in
das, and takes the agent in the dative.
b. Observe that : 1. The verbal in 3, is used impersonally,
being in the neuter nominative singular (sometimes plural), with
ecrri' expressed or understood. 2. xllthough still passive, as is
the Lat. -dum est, it is practically active in sense and governs the
same case as the verb in the active or middle would take. 3. The
expression is equivalent to hel, one must, with the infinitive, and
takes the agent in the dative (sometimes in the accusative).
c. Observe that the subject of the personal construction be-
comes the object of the impersonal, hence the latter emphasizes the
action rather than the person or thing ; that verbals of transitive
verbs admit either construction, but those of intransitive verbs
the impersonal construction only.^

III. 1. The mother of Cyrus sent him back to his
province, because she loved him better than the ruling
Artaxerxes. 2. But when he had gone back, after he
had been in danger, he planned that he might be king
in place of his brother. 3. He was said so to dispose
of both the barbarians and the Greeks that they were
more friendly to him than to the king. 4. And he also
cared for the barbarians about himself that they might
be able to fight. 5. He collected his Grecian force
secretly that he might take the king unprepared. 6. He,
therefore, kept finding many pretexts for collecting his
army. 7. He ordered the commanders of the garrisons
which he had in the cities to enlist the best men pos-
sible, on the ground that Tissaphernes was plotting
against the cities.
813. Review the different selections of the Anabasis,
and apply the principles of syntax given both by Greek
and Enghsh translations. For the selections see the
