§ 73. 



Passive and 3Iiddle. 



1. The original ending SAIof the second person singular of the indicative and 

 subjunctive passive of verbs in w occurs in later and Byzantine Greek. Sept. Ps. 127, 



2 (pdjeaat.. Deut. 28, 39 rrUaai,. NT. Luc. 16, 25 oBvvaaai. 17, 8 (fidyecrai, irieaai,. 

 Rom. 2, 17 Kavyao-ai. APOCR. Act. Pet. et Paul. 64 irXavaaai. 65 TTTorjcrai (write 

 ■jTToelaai 1) Act. Thad. 2 Ida-ai. Herm. 2, 4 irXavdcrai,. ClIRYS. XII, 772 E ^verda-ai. 



Apophth. Besarion 9 ■n-oXe/j.rja-ai subjunctive. Const. (536), 1056 E ^o/SjJo-at (write 



(po^elaail'). VlT. EuTHYM. 73 Trepia-Traa-at. 19 e^epxecrai. Leimon. 122 -TroXe/irjaat, (wvite 

 TToXefielaaiiy Leo. 9, 40 eTrtyeo-e (write eTretyeo-at). PoRPH. Cer. 377,23 KO/jn^ecrai. 376, 

 8 KOfj,i^aicre (write KOfjLi^ecrai,^. 623 avaXafi/Saveaai. BoiSS. Ill, 230 KOt/Macrai,, <TTe(j>avovaai,. 



It is hardly necessary to state here that, in modern Greek, the second person singular 

 of the present indicative and subjunctive active always ends in 5'^!; as \eyeaai, irbve- 

 crai,, KOTTTecrai, Tifiaaai, Koi/xaaai, i^CKeiaai, <j>iXr](Tai. 



2. In later Greek, when the future passive or middle takes the place of the aorist 

 subjunctive, it is sometimes found written with the connective vowels of the subjunc- 

 tive (H, SI). This is simply converting it into a future subjunctive. NT. Act. 21, 24
