The third list comprises a few words that have an accented ultima. 



Thebais adpellatur I. 117. 17 



Copton et Antinou I. 302. 22 



Seston et CallipoUn I. 275. 19 



Poliorcetes appellatus est II. 9. 9 



Perseus memoratur I. 28. 4 



Tyaneus Appollonius I. 258. 6 



This list is short, but it should be noted that on the analogy of 

 Thebais we can postulate nominatives with accented ultima from 

 the oblique cases of such words as tyrannidis, chlamyde, Persidis, 

 Maeotidos, Chalcida, Propontideuu and probably Teredona. 



We find, then, in Ammianus a great number of instances in which 

 the Greek accent is taken over with the borrowed word. Against 

 these I can set only a few exceptional cases in which the Greek 

 accent is not preserved. 



Exceptions are proportionally most frequent among those words 

 which in Greek have an accented ultima. With Seston and Copton 

 in the last list we may compare the following words. 



choros I. 279. 12 



chamiilcis I. 119. 26 



Thessali I. 282. 21 



Adiabenam I. 310. 25 



lyricus I. 18. 11 



hydraulica I. 21. 19 



hieroglyphicas I. 118. 16 



physicae I. 118. 29 



mystica I. 171. 19; cf 258. 7 



In these cases the accent is thrown back, and its place is appa- 

 rently determined by the penultimate law. But in Aegyptidcae i\. 

 296. 17 j and Constantidcas (I. 247. 12j it goes back only to the a, 

 which is short. This is paralleled by the statement of a grammarian
