B. Conjunctions of Contemporaneity. 

 I. Conjunctions of Simple Contemporaneity. 



TC, 07TOT6. 



ore is generally a conjunction of contemporaneity, but occasionally it 

 is used in a clause of pure antecedence, as e. g., 4, 78 : ore S<= biarpfycif 

 prjva *) 7rXeoi/ tovtov. dTTaWdacreTo, k.t X. ; and similarly ill 1, 191 ; 3, 57 ; 

 4, 110 ; 5, 16, 30, 92»; ; 6, GO, 77, 78. Furthermore, ore is the con- 

 junction which is used when the time of the main action is defined, not 

 exactly but loosely, by stating some event which was connected with the 

 action of the main verb. Cf. above, p. 200. In range and variety of its 

 meanings ore is the nearest equivalent of the English " when." ore is 

 used with the optative of generic action but once (4, 78), and there it is 

 equivalent not to okotc but to 6'kws. 



MS. variation in one place should be noticed, 9, 75 : ecrrt 8V koi erepov 

 SoX^dfei' \apTrpov epyov etjepyacrpfvov, ore . . . avbpa Ttevrd(6\ov, Ik TrpoKkqaios 



ecpovevae. ore, R, Kriig., Kal. ; on, ABCP, St., Ab., Baehr. For rea- 

 sons similar to those given above, sp. 175 f., on 2, 121e, ore is probably 

 the right reading. Cf. 5, 92??, where on is read by P d z, but ore is 

 undoubtedly correct. 



evre like ore is generally used of contemporaneous action, but in 4, 78 : 



eure dydyoi tt]v o~TpaTii)v rrjv l£,Kvdta>v e'y to . . . Iicttv. . . . e'y tovtovs okcos 

 e'Xfloi 6 2Kv\r]?, k.t.X., it is used of pure antecedence, as is shown by okws 

 e\6oi, which merely repeats the preceding clause. 



rjpos- 



rjpos, in the single place where it occurs, has as its correlative TrjvtKavra. 



Forms of 6V 



The dative with kv (eV <»), and the accusative (tov) are used to intro- 

 duce clauses of contemporaneity. If the reading dnrjyaye is right in 1, 

 164 (cf. above, p. 200), eV « is used once of antecedent action.
