5 ( a .) The Verbal Aorist Participle. 
This participle occurs in all three conjugations. In the first and 
second (viii. iii. 78) conjugations it is a true aorist. It expresses past 
time indefinitely, with no reference to proximity or distance. E-g., 
karybv , he (was) made (by us), we made; bovyov , he became. 
It is therefore the participle, and the aorist is the tense, of narration 
in these two conjugations.
