5. The dat. sing, ends sometimes in -di {i.e. a) ; sometimes 

 in -d. On the relation of these two endings to each other, 

 see above, § 13, 3, a. The instances (with the immediate con- 

 text) are as follows : ra 'AOdva rat Coll. 62 ; v Tvya 74, 3 ; 

 <7i)(f) TV^a 120, 4 ; ra ^ KBdvai \'], 2\ rat /SaaiXf]fo<; rd 60, 8, 17; 

 rd Ila(f)La, the correct reading of Coll. 9, according to Hall 

 {Jour. Am. Or. Soe., xi., p. 212). An examination of these 

 examples reveals the fact that the dative in -d is more usually 

 found in those cases where it is accompanied by another 

 dative of the full form in -di. Cf. the similiar use of -w for -wi; 

 see § 26, 3. 



Ahrens {PJiilologus, xxxv., p. 13 f.) considers the forms in 

 -di as locative, when they are accompanied by a preposition 

 of place. But the locative in Greek is not elsewhere used as 

 such with prepositions, and there is no ground for recognizing 

 it here. 



6. The gen. plu. in -dv (by contraction from -awv ; cf. 

 Homeric Oedoiv, dX(f>r]a-Td(ov) occurs in iirayofievdv Coll. 59, 2. 



7. On the ace. plu. see § 15.

Stems in -o-. 



1. The gen. sing, in -« (for -00 by contraction ; see § 14, 13) 

 is frequent, e.g. d\f(o Coll. 60, 9, 18; dpyvpco 60, 6, 13, 15, 

 17 ; TifMoSdfjto) 23, 3. 



2. A peculiar gen. sing, is found ending in -wv instead of -« 

 and occurring interchangeably with the latter. The instances 

 are : 'A^tS/xiXKcov Coll. 59, 3 ; dpyvpcov 60, 7, 25 (cf. dpyvpco
