9, 19, 22, i.e. eovra iireovTa (see § 7, I and ef. Ion. e'ooi/, iovro'^) 

 represent the thematic formation from the strong form of the 

 root eV-, in place of the primitive (tut-, which has everywhere 

 disappeared. Cf. Meyer, Gr. Gr?, § 601.

Prepositions. 



1. airv {i.e. aiTo \ see § 9, 2) occurs in Cyprian with 

 the dative only, viz. airv rai ^dt Coll. 60, 8, 17; a(f wl 



59. 3- 



2. e'l is used before consonants as well as before vowels 



(see § 24, i), and like airv governs the dative only. The 

 examples are e'^ tml 'x^copcot Coll. 60, 11; ef rat tttoXiJc 60, 

 6 ; ef TO)i foiKWi 60, 5 » ^'f '''^'^ ^^^ 60, 24 ; e'f rcot Kaircoi, 60, 

 24. The form e'/c docs not occur. 



3. TTo?. Reference has already been made above to the view 

 of Baunack and Meister (see § 20, 3), according to which Tro<i is 

 a phonetic development from ttotl. The grounds for reject- 

 ing this view were also stated in the same connection. Cf. 

 also Bechtel, Besz. Beitr., x., p. 287. 



7ro<f and ttoti are really independent of each other, being 

 different formations from the same theme, *7ror. The former 

 is for *7roT-9, where -s is the same suffix as seen in e'f (i.e. e'/c-?), 

 and ayjr- {i.e. aTr-?-), probably the weak form of the gen. suffix 

 -€s, -OS as seen in Seo-Tror?;? for Se/j,-a-7r6T7]<i, Lat. frnetu-s {cf. J. 

 Strachan, Abstnfung in Case-Endings, Bcsz. Beitr., xiv., p. 

 174). TTor-i, on the other hand, is a locative formation. With 

 the relation existing between tto? and ttot-i compare also that 

 between tt/oo? {i.e. *irp6T-<i) and Trpor-i; eZ? {i.e. *iv-<;) and ev-L 



4. V occurs in Coll. 74, 3, in the sense of eVt ; also in 

 composition in vev^d/iievo<; (see § 17, 2 ad fin^ 45, 2; and 

 v')(f]p(av {i.e. ein'^eLpov ; see Ahrens, PJiilologiis, xxxv., p. 30 ff.) 



60, 5, 15. 



5. In Coll. 60, 10, 22, 28 we also find the peculiar form 

 vfai'^, which is plausibly explained by Baunack {bischrift von
