veloped the notion of appurtenance in some way like the following. 

 Ko};>.utJi'7xo$, though derived from the proper name Ko7vlu[3a$, the 

 name of a steward, might be referred to the appellati\e v.oWu^oi; 

 'small coin' as 'he who has to do with the coin,' and other 

 words might follow by analogy. 



107. One name in -t(7xo- seems to de derived from an adjective 

 primitive: '^E^dof.iiGY.oc (Andros CIG. 2. 2349c 3 add.): sjiBop? 

 ' seventh.' If so, it followed the analogy of names like 'A'^eitcrxoc, 

 EOopovioy.o;, Aa^.7:fi(7X0(;, and Ico'^povtoy.oc, which, though derived 

 from the proper names 'AcpsXrjC, E-jcppcov, Aaixxpo^, and Iwopwv, 

 could as well be referred to the adjectives a':ji'):f^c„ sucppwv, Xct.^.- 

 iz^oc, and 'jtoopwv respectively. Since, however, 'Ej3Bo[j.ic-/.or would 

 thus stand altogether alone among proper names as to its deri- 

 vation, and since there is only one appellative which with any 

 degree of probability is derived from an adjective (§ 28), it is 

 more probable that the primitive adjective was itself used as a 

 proper name which happens not to have been transmitted. 



loS. I have necessarily ignored altogether a number of names 

 in -iTAO- of non- Greek origin, since these have no value for Greek 

 semantics. Such are the Persian 'OqIoymc (Ctes. 40 b 3) and IlaQi- 

 (Xxac (Plut. Artox. 12), and Iy.o()diay.og (A pp. Illyr. 2), the son of 

 Paeon after whom the Keltic UxopSiTxoi. are said to have been 

 named. 



IX. THE DIALECTIC DISTRIBUTION OF WORDS IN -I^KO-. 



109. For a detailed dialectic history of the suffix there is in- 

 sufficient material. The appellatives are of such sporadic occur- 

 rence in the dialect inscriptions that almost nothing can be made 

 of them, and the proper names, while fairly numerous on the 

 whole, yet yield such a small number for the dialect of each lo- 

 cality that negative evidence, to say the least, is precarious. The 

 principal conclusion we can draw from the distribution of these 

 comparatively few forms over most of the dialects is that, with 

 the exception of the Aeolic (§ i), probably every Greek dialect 

 knew them, and that the pre-Hellenic origin of the suffix is thus 

 again confirmed (§ 2). There are indeed other dialects than the 

 Aeolic in which -ktxo- has not been found in inscriptions, but the 

 evidence is insufficient to make actual absence of the suffix even 

 probable. That I have found no names of persons in -itao- from 

 Aeniania, Cyprus, and Pamphilia is explained by the scarcity of 

 inscriptions from these regions as well as from the comparatively
