place in the dual to the exclusion of the regular formation 

 Teix^L (for relx^e) ; cf. Att ^euyet CIA. II., 652, B, 26 (Meister- 

 hans, Grammatik der Attischeu Inscriften} p. 61). But accord- 

 ing to Spitzer's view, in such an inscription as tol 'AOdvac 

 Coll. 17, 2 we should have a dative article rd limiting a 

 locative noun. {Cf. also 60, 8, 17 uttu rat ^di rat /3a<7L\7]fo<; 

 rd l{v) TM ipcSvt,, where similarly rd, dative, would stand in 

 apposition with a locative rdi ^dt,.) 



3) The adverb irai {cf. Doric 7ra, Attic -nrj) Coll. 60, 4, 12 ; 

 71, can only be for irdi, and shows clearly that final -di in 

 Cyprian did not necessarily lose its i, and that other forms 

 with -di may therefore exist in Cyprian. 



The forms in -at are therefore to be considered as datives, 

 hence as ending in -di, while those in -d are also datives, with 

 the -d developed from -di, as frequent in many dialects. 

 Ahrens assumes a locative in -ox, and a dative in -d and -di. 

 See below under Ijiflections, § 25, 5.

 in its form and probably incorrect, as the inscription seems 

 to be carelessly written.

1. ei by epenthesis appears in the form 'ATreiXcov in the 

 bilingual inscription communicated by Deecke in the Ber/.

 tion '^^ KrrkXixiyv, became first *'A7retXi&)v and thence "* Kirei-

 Antiqnissimae, 509, and the Arcadian proper name ^ AireKXioiv 

 Coll. 1190, all of which represent the same form of the 



1 Often incorrectly written t/o-oj; but rei- is the regular form of the root for 

 the future and is assured by Attic inscriptions of the best period. See Meister-
