γαρ Μεθάρμοσον ει μη τυγχανω τι καίρου. 20 30 40 away dishonoured out of the land, but greatly enriched, and possessor of the palace. CHAP. LII. A literal translation of a Paraphrase, by Socrates, of the opposite Greek. VENIT Chryses filiæque redemptionis pretia ferens, et supplex Achivorum, præcipue autem regum; et orabat illis quidem deos dare, capientes Trojam, ipsos etiam servari, filiam vero sibi ipsi solvere, accipientes redemptionis pretia, et deum veritos. Talia locuto il lo, alii quidem venerabantur et assentiebantur; Agamemnon vero exasperatus est, jubens nunc et abire, et rursus non venire, ne illi et sceptrum, et dei coronæ non subvenirent; prius vero quam solvi illius filiam, in Arge dixit senecturam cum se; abire autem jussit, et non irritare, ut salvus domum veniret. Senex autem audiens timebat et abiit silentio ; digressus vero e castris, multa Apollini precatus est, et cognomenta dei inclamans, et in memoriam revocans et repetens, si unquam vel in templorum structuris, vel in victima rum sacrificiis gratum largitus sit, quorum tum gratia imprecabatur ulcisci Achivos suas lacrymas illius sa gittis. και μη με αποστείλησε τησδ' ατιμον γης Αλλ' αρχεπλουτον, και δόμων κατασίατην. CHAP. LII. 50 METAPHRASIS, OR POETRY TO BE PARAPHRASED IN PROSE. Ο γαρ ήλθε θεας επί νηας Αχαίων, Ατρείδαι τε, και αλλοι εϋκνημίδες Αχαιοι, Ενθ' αλλοι μεν πάντες επευφημησαν Αχαιοί, Μη σε, γερον, κοιλῃσιν εγω παρα νηυσι κιχείων Κλύθι μευ, Αργυρότοξ, ός Χρυσην αμφιβέβηκας, END OF THE EXERCISES, NOTES ON SYNTAX. ALTHOUGH the rules, with respect to the construction of cases, appear very numerous, yet they may all be reduced to the following principles. 1. Every nominative agrees with some verb, expressed, or understood. 2. Every genitive expresses that from which something proceeds, or by which it is possessed; and, in general, depends upon a noun or preposition, expressed or understood. 3. Every dative expresses that to which something is acquired. But as the dative, in Gruch, cur rresponds also to the ablative in Latin, it expresses that from which any thing is taken, or by means of which it is done. 4. Every accusative is governed by an active verb, or a preposition, expressed or understood; or it agrees with an infinitive. When other words are said to govern certain cases, as verbs, the genitive; or when cases are said to be put absolutely, these principles should be referred to, and they will show the force and propriety of the expression. An attention to the following concise notes will enable the learner to supply these ellipses, with others of very frequent occurrence.

Ορθον (χρημα) ή αλήθεια από sometimes be understood in place of χρημα; as Ποιον (Ego) Epεžas; What a deed have you done? MeTA TAUTA (xgayuara). After these things. 4. Ω ψυχη (σου) ὃς μηδ' ήσθης. 5.

Ανθρωπων (επι) μακρω αριστος. 25. Ο πιπρασκομενος έτερου (κτημα) γινεται. 26. Αισθάνομαι ψοφου. The perception proceeding from the sound; or the noise being the cause of hear ing. Παντων των καλων ηρα. The love proceeding from, or being excited by the beautiful. Ουδε (απο) τουτου διημαρτε. Άμελεις (απο) των φίλων. Απολαυες (εκ, or απο) των παρόντων. Many verbs seem to govern a genitive, or accusative, indifferently; but the accusative only is governed by their own immediate influence: the genitive depends upon τι, μέρος, or the like, understood, and expresses a part in contradistinction to the whole; as, Πινω οινον, I drink up the wine. Πίνω (τι εξ) οινου, I drink some of the wine. 28. A preposition may be understood, after verbs of following, and discoursing, besides the force of acquisition; as, Ακολουθείν (μετα) τιν, Το follow a person: Ομιλειν (μετα) σοφοις, Το converse with wise men. 32. This is a dative of acquisition, or deprivation; the genitive depends on vexa or understood; the accusative alone is really governed by the verb. Agew σε (ένεκα, Οι επι) παρανοιας, I accuse you of folly. 33. Απαντα (ες) σε διδάξομαι. Χρη αιτων τους θεους (κατα, Oι επι) αγαθα. Αποστερε με (κατα) τα χρηματα. (Εις) σ γενω μεθυ. R |
