84: A GLOSSARY OF LATER 



THIRD DECLENSION OF NOUNS. 



§ 61. 



1. In later and Byzantine Greek, nouns in HS, IS, and TX are sometimes inflected 

 after the analogy of the first declension. Thus, 



Sing. N. ApTji ' Aya6oK\7]<; Advairpt,<; 



G. 'Apt] Advairpi 



T). Advairpi, 



A. Api]V ^ A'yadoKKrjv Aavavpiv 



V. Apr] AyaOoKK-P] Aavairpi, 



See also rdpyapi<;, Advaa-rpi<;, 'A7T<f)V';, Aiovv';, Ka/iv<;, KapBv';, KXava-v's, in the Glossary. 

 NT. Hebr. 6, 19 rov da(pa\riv, as a various reading. Apoc. 1, 13 tw ■rroBrip'qv, as a 

 various reading. Apocr. Nicod. Euangel. I, A, 5, 1 a» eva-e^r]. Thom. Euangel. A 3, 2 



w dae^r). Act. Andr. 11 mXrpaTOKkT]. InSCR. 1153 w MeveKpdrT}. Chal. 913 D m Ev- 



Tvxv- Apophth. Apphys, tov 'Att^v. Acrop. 27 tw Ada-Kapi. 



In classical Greek, this rule applies chiefly to the accusative singular of proper names 

 in US ; as 'iov Apia-Totjidvr} or ApiaT0<f)uv7]v. 



2. In later and Byzantine Greek the accusative singular of the third declension often 

 ends in AN. Thus, NT. Matt. 9, 18 and Joan. 20, 25 xet/jai/, as a various reading. 

 Apoc. 12, 13 dpaevap, as a various reading. 13, 14 elKovav, as a various reading, 

 Apocr. Thom. Euangel. A, 3, 3 veoTtjrav. 10, 2 iroBav. 16, 1 x^^P"'^' -^' ^^ ^ de'pav.

This apparent barbarism (suggested by the corresponding ending of the first de- 

 clension) coincides with the theoretical case-ending of the accusative of the third 

 declension. (Compare the Latin case-ending EM, as in patrem, hotninem, where M 

 corresponds to the Greek N.) 



3. The dative plural, in later and Byzantine writers, is sometimes formed by annex- 



17 A^Tcot, ij 2a7r<|)mt. The word Trpooyrypa/ificVov shows that this remark was written before the thirteenth cen- 

 tury. See above, § 57.
