 I. Conjunctions of Subsequence, not expressing limit. 



Tvp'iv, nplv rj. 



iTpiv after an affirmative clause generally means (i before " ; rarely 

 it means "until," as well as "before" (4, 1 ; 6, 119 ; 9, 13, 101). 



The following correlative expressions are found with irplv and txplv rj : 

 nporepov is used with TTplv three times (1, 82; 5, 106; 6, 110); with 

 irplv rj four times (6, 45 ; 7,8/3; 8, 8 ; 9, 93) ; ovkw (ovn kco, pr)Ka>) occurs 

 with trpiv three times (1, 32, 32 2 ; 6, 110); is r68e, once ; npo-Por)8r)crai 

 is used before irplv, 8, 144. 



The following correlatives are found with irplv fj: irplv (1, 165); to 

 ndXat (4, 180) ; TTpo-yfyovores (7, 3) ; Tore (9, 68) ; (pddvw (6, 116 ; 9, 70). 



irporepov rj. 



npoTcpov rj after an affirmative main clause expresses plain subsequence 

 ("before"); after a negative main clause it expresses limit ("until "). 

 TTporepov rj is preceded by cpddva in 6, 91, and by ivpo-avaio-ipapiva in 2, 11. 



II. Conjunctions of Limit. 



M T 



a\pi ov. 



is o is by far the favorite Herodotean expression for " until " after an 

 affirmative main clause. In four passages, however, all MSS. give is ov 

 (4, 160, 181, 196; 5, 51), and once eW ov (2, 43) ; but in these places 

 most editors prefer is 5. In seven other places (1, 67 ; 3, 31 ; 4, 12, 30, 

 105, 166; 5, 86) is- ov is found in one or more MSS. Holder reads 

 is ou in only one place (1, 67)* ; Kallenberg, van Herwerden, and Abicht 

 read is o everywhere. Stein printed is o everywhere in 1869, but 

 in his second text edition (1884) reads is ov in 10 places, and eW ov 



* Why Holder reads is ov in 1, 67 where one MS. gives is '6, but reads ex 8 in all 

 the places where all MSS. give is ov, it is not easy to understand.
