plural, i, instead of that of the singular. But frequent as is 

 the opposite phenomenon, that of -v\\- instead of i in the dual 

 and plural {e.g. (nai'r)rov, (nai'qu.ev), yet instances of the re- 

 verse are not elsewhere found, and we should be slow to 

 credit one in the present case, the more so since the sense 

 which Deecke gives this word {Becc. Beitr., vi., p. 78, " nicht 

 mochtest du dich iiber die Gottheit stellen " {yJrj . . . eiriaral^ 

 . . . deoii), does not belong to €(f)L(Tr7]fit., which may have the 

 sense of 'to be in command of,' but not that of 'to hold one- 

 self superior to.' 



4. Karedijav Coll. 60, 27, is the plural of the unthematic 

 aor. ind. of KarartdTjfj^t. The root syllable appears as 61 in- 

 stead of 6e- according to § 7, i ; on j see § 18, i, a. The end- 

 ing is -av. The normal formation would have been *KaTeOevr, 

 i.e. KareOev. Cf. Arcadian avedev Coll. 1229; 1230. The 

 ending -av has been borrowed from consonant stems, where 

 the primitive ending -vt became -yr and so developed regu- 

 larly as -av(T), e.g. eSwKav, for ^iScoKnr ; ekvaav for *e\vanr 

 (see Meyer, Gr. Gr.^ § 530). Identical with Cyprian KareOijav 

 are Boeotian aveOe-av and aveOei-av Coll. 855 ; 571, 2. 



5. KaTeOicrav (Att. Karedecrav) CoLL. 20, 2, ought regularly 

 to appear as Karedeaav. The i is to be explained as borrowed 

 from the formation just mentioned, Karedijav. The termina- 

 tion is of secondary origin, as in case of the Att. Karedeaav, 

 being borrowed from the sigmatic aor., e.g. eXvaav, where 

 -<rav was felt as ending. Voigt's suspicion of this form {Bezs. 

 Beitr., ix., p. 165) I am unable to share. 



6. On the aor. wplaerv Coll. 126, i see § 3, 4. 



7. On the ending tj for tj in the 3d sing, of the aor. sub- 

 junctive, see § 12, 3, b. 



8. In Coll. 60, 26, note, Deecke takes IvaXaXiajxeva as 

 perfect pass, participle from Iv-aXc^co (i.e. iv and aXi^co, from 

 aXo9, Att. -^Xo? ' nail ') hence ' nailed up,' ' suspended by a 

 nail.' But this assumption of the so-called Attic reduplica- 

 tion in a verb beginning with a long vowel is unwarranted.
